Two people tragically died after a plane bound for Florida, US crashed just moments after take off from a North Carolina Airport, which sparked a major incident

Two people have died after a small plane plummeted to the ground just moments after taking off, it has emerged.

The horror crash happened when a a Florida-bound Beechcraft A36 Bonanza crashed at about 7.50am local time on Friday morning shortly after it took off from Pitt-Greenville Airport in North Carolina, US.

Authorities said the aircraft came down outside a utility outlet just over a mile from the airport, sparking a major incident as we reported on Friday night.

Two people onboard the single-engine aircraft were not found during an initial search and rescue operation, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said. Human remains were later found at the scene, local media reports.

The Greenville Police Department said in a statement: “Sadly there were no survivors. Investigators are still working to identify the individuals on board the plane. There were no other injuries.”

The flight, which had been bound for Vero Beach, left at about 7.46am before crashing just minutes outside the Consolidated Pipe and Supply on Greene Street, FlightRadar24 and police said.

It came just hours after a diverted American Airlines plane erupted into flames shortly after it landed at Denver International Airport, in Colorado, on Thursday night following alerts from crew members reported engine vibrations.

Huge plumes of thick black smoke led to the evacuation of passengers, 172 travellers and six crew members, went onto the wing of the plane as smoke covered the tarmac. A dozen people suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

An AP-NORC poll released earlier this month said more Americans have become somewhat jittery when it comes to air travel. The poll found 64% of Americans believed air travel is safe or somewhat safe, representing a drop from 71%who said so last year.

It also found two in 10 Americans believe planes are very or somewhat unsafe, a 12% increase from 2024. It comes following a string of plane crashes in recent months and after hundreds of FAA employees were fired by the government.
