UPDATE FROM FOX NEWS:

Several fatalities and multiple injuries were reported after a World War II-era bomber crashed Wednesday while attempting to land at Connecticut’s largest airport, officials said.

Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection Commissioner James Rovella said at a news conference that there were 13 people on board the plane at the time, including 10 passengers and three crew members. Rovella added that one person was also on the ground in a maintenance facility when the plane crashed at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., located north of Hartford.

“There are fatalities,” he told reporters, adding that it was “far too early” to discuss specific numbers because of the complexities of the crash scene and victims who have burn injuries. 

“Victims are very difficult to identify,” Rovella said, “We don’t want to make a mistake.”

A B17 bomber crashed this morning while attempting to land at Hartford’s Bradley airport. According to news accounts, it was a civilian owned aircraft, and there were at least six injured persons taken to local hospitals.

The B17G bomber owned by the Collings Foundation reportedly crashed into a building at the Bradley International Airport.

The B17G that crashed has been a part of the Wings of Freedom tour this year, which is sponsored by the Collings Foundation.
