An eyewitness wrote on Facebook that we had just landed from Florida on an uncleared runway in Bangor and we were all safe, but we just saw a plane crash behind us with 8 people on board. Please pray for everyone on that plane.
Another person said that it looks like it was taking off right after you landed. Bombardier Challenger 650. Couldn't get down on the runway. A local resident in Harmon said, "I can say from experience that what I heard and felt was an explosion." He said I was in Harmon, about a mile from the fire department. Another resident said that I also saw a firetruck passing by me on 395 going towards the airport. Pray that everyone is safe.
Another person from Milford reported hearing a very loud noise in Milford. In another post it was said that it was a private jet. One person commented that it had come up upside down, but I'm sure the gentleman who saw it behind him would have known if it had. Prayers for everyone.
