What happened
During the early stages of flight departing from Elmendorf AFB, an aircraft experienced a catastrophic failure while performing its initial climb. The plane entered a stall shortly after leaving the runway, leading to a crash that resulted in a post-impact fire.
Of the people on board, 13 fatalities were recorded. Emergency responders were able to successfully rescue seven passengers from the wreckage.
Findings
Preliminary assessments suggest that the accident was triggered by an engine failure occurring immediately after the aircraft reached rotation speed.
