Skydiving plane goes off New Jersey runway and crashes into woods, sending at least 15 to hospital
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — At least 15 people were taken to a hospital when a small skydiving aircraft went off the end of a runway at an airport in southern New Jersey and crashed in a wooded area on Wednesday evening, according to authorities. The incident at the Cross Keys Airport, about 21 miles (33.8 kilometers) southeast of Philadelphia, involved a Cessna 208B carrying 15 people, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson, who said it's under investigation. Aerial footage of the crashed plane shows it in a wooded area, with several pieces of debris nearby. Firetrucks and other emergency vehicles surrounded the scene. Three people are being evaluated at Cooper University Hospital's trauma center in Camden, New Jersey, and eight people with less severe injuries are being treated in its emergency department, Wendy A. Marano, a spokesperson for the hospital, said. Four other patients also with 'minimal injuries' are waiting for further evaluation, she said. She wasn't able to provide the exact nature of the injuries. Members of the hospital's EMS and trauma department were at the crash site, she said. A person who answered the phone at Cross Keys Airport on Wednesday said he had no information and referred questions to Skydive Cross Keys, a commercial skydiving business located at the airport. Skydive Cross Keys didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment. Gloucester County Emergency Management warned the public on its Facebook page to avoid the area in order to let emergency vehicles access the site.

Skydiving plane with 15 people onboard goes off runway at New Jersey airport
Aviation news Federal agenciesFacebookTweetLink Follow A skydiving plane with 15 people onboard went off the end of the runway at a New Jersey airport, southeast of Philadelphia, Wednesday evening, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. According to a preliminary statement from the FAA, the Cessna 208B crashed into the woods at Cross Keys Airport around 5:30 p.m. local time. The Gloucester County Office of Emergnecy management identified the crash as a 'mass casualty incident' in a Facebook post. Helicopter video from CNN affiliate WPVI showed multiple stretchers being wheeled out of the woods to medical evacuation helicopters. Five victims are being transported to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, according to a spokesperson. 'We actually have one of our trauma surgeons and members of our EMS crew are on site down there. So we're just waiting to see the status,' Wendy Marano told CNN. Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 indicates the plane was dropping rapidly at a rate of 3,008 feet per minute shortly before the tracking data ceased. The aircraft involved, according to the website, belonged to a Virginia company and was involved an incident in 2023 that was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board. According to the agency's records the nose gear collapsed during landing due to a pilot error. It's not clear who was flying the plane Wednesday in New Jersey. The FAA is investigating the incident and will post a preliminary report, usually within one business day. CNN's Danya Gainor contributed to this report.

FAA investigating whether part of a Delta Air Lines wing fell onto a North Carolina driveway
Federal agencies Aviation newsFacebookTweetLink Follow A missing part of a wing from a Delta Air Lines 737 that landed Tuesday night at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, may have fallen on a nearby home's driveway. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether the several-feet-long piece of metal discovered blocking the drive may be a flap from Delta flight 3247. Flaps are attached to the rear of the wings and can be extended at takeoff and landing to expand the wing's surface and increase lift. The Boeing 737-900 departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, but when it landed in North Carolina the plane was missing a flap. 'After the aircraft landed safely, it was observed that a portion of the left wing's trailing edge flap was not in place,' the airline said in a statement. 'Delta is fully supporting retrieval efforts and will cooperate with investigations as nothing is more important than safety.' Delta said 109 passengers and six crew members were on board. 'It's amazing when you consider it's such a dense neighborhood and people are out all the time,' Susan Reed, who works near the area where the part landed, told CNN affiliate WRAL. 'We really dodged a bullet on this one. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again.' CNN's Cara-Lynn Clarkson contributed to this report.
