An aircraft has crashed at London Southend Airport.

Essex Police said it was alerted to a 12-metre plane on fire at the site in Southend-on-Sea shortly before 16:00 BST on Sunday.

John Johnson, 40, from Billericay, Essex, was watching planes with his wife and children when he saw a "huge fireball".



You lazy bastard.

Southend airport is used by EasyJet and that is pretty much it for commercial flights.

This was a private plane, Beechcraft KingAir according to the Independent.

Took off too early + uneven weight distribution?

More likely VMC roll. Why? Who knows.

Sounds exactly like the Addison king air crash in 2019. Left engine lost thrust due to a faulty friction lock and the pilot screwed up his rudder control. Banked left and crashed inverted into a hangar.

This man was spotted jumping out of the cockpit and fleeing the scene

Pure speculation, but this looks a lot like the King Air crash in Addison, TX back in 2019.

Same aircraft, both flights never got more than 200 feet off the ground after takeoff. The King Air in Addison lost power from the left engine immediately after rotation and the pilots incorrectly applied left rudder input instead of right rudder and the aircraft rolled and crashed into a hangar. Not enough altitude to recover from an input error like that.

His family waved at the pilots of the aircraft before it went down, he said. "You could see [the pilots] smiling and we all kind of smiled back, the aircraft then turned 180 degrees to face its take off point, powered up its engines and powered past us, carrying on down the runway,"


Wow. That’s not creepy as frick at all.

This brings back memories of that Addison King Air 2019 mishap in 2019.

Rumor has it, that it was delivering the Epstein list to Tucker who was going to read it on his subscription only podcast.
