Skydiving plane stalls and crashes near Kansas City, killing pilot and all 11 skydivers aboard
Washington Post—A Pacific Aerospace 750XL operated by Skydive Kansas City stalled nose-first and went down around 11:35 a.m. near Butler Memorial Airport — about 65 miles south of Kansas City — killing all 12 on board in one of the deadliest US skydiving incidents in decades. The pilot made a sharp left turn before impact, possibly attempting an emergency landing on a highway. The aircraft caught fire in a field adjacent to the airport; one witness said there was 'no way anyone could have survived.'
