All four people aboard died on Sunday morning after a twin-engine plane trying to take off in heavy fog crashed and caught fire at the end of a runway at Bartow Municipal Airport in central Florida.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters, "I have reviewed some footage, and clearly no one should have tried to a takeoff from this airport at 7:15 this morning." He said one of the victims was someone he had known "for years and years and years."
