A Beechcraft King Air 200 crashed into a building at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita, Kansas. The crash killed at least two people and injured four others. More updates as we get them.

Update: Firefighters are on scene, as reported on the local fire department scanner here.


This is not a small fire. Crews are setting up a hundred-foot perimeter for fear that the building sagging may turn into a collapse.

CNN is reporting on Twitter via the FAA that the plane lost power on takeoff.

A local NBC affiliate is reporting that the plane crashed into a flight safety building.


It appears that the building is a Cessna Learning Center set up by Flight Safety ( here's a press release detailing the site). It should be noted that Beechcraft and Cessna are both based in Wichita.


In an odd (and perhaps good) coincidence, there was a simulated plane crash there at ICT yesterday, in which firefighters put out an aircraft fire.


The fire has been extinguished and flights operations at the airport are normal.
