All seven people aboard a private jet that
crashed in a wooded area in Bedford,
Massachusetts, late Saturday have died, said
Sharon Williams, director of Hanscom Field airport.
She did not give the names of the deceased.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane
apparently caught fire, and photos appearing on
social media purporting to be of the crash site show
flames and smoke.
Fire department rescuers responded to the scene of
the crash early Sunday.
The Gulfstream IV jet was taking off from Hanscom
Air Force Base when it ran into a wooded area.
Airport operations were shut down.
Hanscom Field is a joint military and civilian facility
located approximately 20 miles outside of Boston.
The airport is regularly used by corporations for
travel and also as a secondary airport to Boston's
Logan International Airport, according to the
Hanscom's website.
The National Transportation Safety Board is
investigating the crash.
May there soul rest in peace
