A plane crashed into a building in Connecticut, authorities said Thursday

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told The Hill in a statement that a Cessna Citation 560X business jet crashed at around 10 a.m. local time into a building on Hyde Road in Farmington, Conn. around 10 a.m. local time.

The plane departed from Robertson Field Airport in Plainville, Conn., and was headed to Dare County Regional Airport in Manteo, N.C. The agency said four people were aboard.

“jumping to conclusions isn’t wise...”

True, but it sure is fun!

My sister has a citation.

I think Citations come in prop, turbo prop and jet versions. If she has the one described, she must be doing fairly well for herself - that's a 7 million dollar airplane.

I used to work right across the street from that building and there is no Runway near there and there aren’t any long stretches of road that would be safe so this has to be a mechanical malfunction and he did not want to put it there

As we used to say in the Air Force,

“Despite the bravest and sharpest of pilots, sometimes gravity has other ideas...”

a couple of years ago my dad sold his airplane after owning and flying it for almost 30 years...

the new owner crashed and destroyed it within 2 weeks after buying it...

experience is a key factor in these situations...

It looks like it hit less than a mile from the Plainville airport. It probably never gained any altitude, and so the pilot never really had any options.

Looks very bad, judging by the security cam video.

Kind of similar to the Shamblin Cessna Citations 501 crash in Tennessee May 2021?

Sad for the families, but if it had to happen, it’s a shame it didn’t crash into the ESPN Headquarters building.

The "it's a shame" list is long...
