Authorities in Missouri believe that all 12 individuals aboard a plane that crashed in Butler have died. The aircraft, operated by Skydive Kansas City, went down around 11:30 a.m. near Butler Memorial Airport after failing to gain altitude and making a sharp left turn. The interim airport manager suggested the pilot may have attempted an emergency landing on the highway. Local sheriff Chad Anderson described the incident as a 'mass casualty event.' The cause of the crash is under investigation, and both the NTSB and FAA are expected to participate. Recovery and identification of victims will begin once federal investigators complete their initial assessment.
