Plane crash 1

Fifteen people were killed last night after a plane crashed in a field near the Harewood estate in Leeds.
The Bandeirante light aircraft came down at 5:30 yesterday evening in poor weather, half an hour after taking off from Leeds Bradford airport.
Emergency services battled the blaze from the plane for one hour but Detective Superintendent Claire Hutchison said that all fifteen people on board were killed instantly. She called the crash “extremely horrific and traumatic” and appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
Det. Supt. Hutchison said the plane had been cleared for take off despite storms earlier in the day. The pilot on the Aberdeen-bound flight had reported problems with the aircraft and was returning to Leeds Bradford before losing radio contact with air traffic controllers.
Witnesses claimed that the plane had been flying low before the crash happened.
Police arrived at the crash site, two miles north of the Harewood estate, on foot after being guided by a farmer. It took emergency services from Harrogate and Leeds twenty five minutes to get to the scene on the A61 Leeds to Harrogate road through a very narrow route.
All of the crash victims were crew and business people. Operating airline, Knight Air, said they are “extremely distressed at the loss of life”.
The crash site has been sealed off for further examination by the Civil Aviation Authority and a formal investigation to identify who was on board the light aircraft will take place.
