Fourth Victim Identified in Bangor Crash, Airport Closed Until Thursday
The Bombardier Challenger 600 crashed during a severe winter storm, killing all six onboard; the crash is Maine's deadliest in decades, with the airport closed for investigation.
- The crash killed six people after a private jet, shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday, inverted and caught fire following takeoff from Bangor International Airport en route to Paris‑Vatry, France.
- As the storm began reaching Bangor, snowfall and rapidly worsening visibility from the National Weather Service affected conditions while the jet received type 1 and type 4 de‑icing amid known Bombardier Challenger 600 icing concerns.
- Recorders recovered by investigators show the aircraft was cleared for takeoff around 7:42 p.m., and about three minutes later it inverted and crashed, the NTSB said.
- The airport will remain closed until at least 9 a.m. Thursday while the National Transportation Safety Board and Maine state medical examiner coordinate recovery amid deep snow.
- Following the crash, family members and local media identified victims including Tara Arnold, Shawna Collins, Jacob Hosmer, and a GoFundMe raised $123,000 b, with the FAA initially misreporting casualty numbers.
