Investigators trying to figure out what caused a luxury private jet carrying six passengers from Houston, Texas to Paris, France to crash in Bangor, Maine amid heavy snow on Sunday night are finding themselves hampered by heavy snow covering the wreckage of the aircraft, the AP reports.
The Bombardier Challenger 600 owned by Houston law firm Arnold and Itkin, carrying attorney Tara Arnold and Joel Osteen Ministries employee Shawna Collins, among others, had stopped at Bangor’s airport to refuel and de-ice when the weather grew increasingly shitty. The conditions prompted another plane to abort its takeoff because of poor visibility and ice accumulating on the wings.
But yeah, it’s still not entirely clear what caused the plane to crash shortly after lifting off.
