Car Crash Missouri Today in Missouri: A skydiving plane crashed shortly after takeoff near Butler Memorial Airport on June 14, killing 11 passengers and a pilot on board. According to a preliminary NTSB report, the aircraft was about to perform its third parachute jump flight of the day when it took a nosedive and crashed into a grass field. The plane's turboprop engine showed internal contact signatures consistent with the engine developing power at the time of impact, and most major structural components sustained significant thermal damage from fire. The NTSB has not yet determined a probable cause.
