Family and friends are mourning after six people were killed when a private business jet bound for France crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in Maine<\/a> on Sunday night, erupting into flames and leaving no survivors.<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the jet flipped upside down and caught fire during departure<\/a>, at about 7:45 p.m. local time, amid Winter Storm Fern.<\/p>\n

Right before takeoff, someone was heard on the flight radio saying, “Let there be light,” the New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Multiple emergency crews rushed to the scene as controllers were heard saying, “Aircraft upside down. We have a passenger aircraft upside down.”<\/p>\n

FAA officials have not yet released the cause of the crash, citing “unknown circumstances” on departure. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has been notified and will investigate.<\/p>\n

The jet was registered to a partner of personal injury law firm Arnold and Itkin Trial Lawyers in Houston.<\/p>\n

Sources told local news station ABC13<\/a> Tara Arnold, an attorney at the firm and wife of founding partner Kurt Arnold, was aboard the doomed flight.<\/p>\n

The Louisiana native<\/a> was a 46-year-old mother of two, according to the firm’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kurt Arnold, who has won more than $20 billion in verdicts and settlements for his clients, and his business partner, Jason Itkin, were reportedly not on the flight.<\/p>\n

Arnold and Itkin Trial Lawyers did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The pilot, Jacob Hosmer, 47, also perished in the crash, his father,\u00a0Gary, told KPRC2.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fellow aviator Bob Howie shared a photo of Hosmer on Facebook, describing him as a “very good friend.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m on the right, but, on the left, is my very good friend Jacob Hosmer who was pilot-in-command last night when his Challenger 650 crashed on takeoff from Bangor, Maine,” Howie wrote in a post<\/a>. “I knew Jake\u2019s co-pilot equally well and had flown with him too. God bless, you guys! Godspeed and fair winds, fellas. Loved sharing the skies with y\u2019all. Big loss.”<\/p>\n

Hosmer’s cousin, David Lopez Jr., also took to social media following the tragedy, calling him “a role model.”<\/p>\n

“It’s surreal to think my cousin Jacob is no longer with us. He was the light of the room and his big smile was infectious,” Lopez wrote on Facebook<\/a>. “I don’t know that I ever told him, but he was a role model to me and will be forever missed. Please pray for the entire Hosmer family during these difficult times.”<\/p>\n

Hosmer, an experienced pilot, started working for Arnold and Itkin in May 2025, according to his LinkedIn account.<\/a><\/p>\n

A third victim was identified as Shawna Collins, according to ABC13.<\/p>\n

Collins\u2019 daughter reportedly told the outlet her mother, an event planner, was traveling to Europe<\/a> for a business trip.<\/p>\n

The identities of the six people killed on the flight have not yet been confirmed by authorities.<\/p>\n

The airport canceled or diverted flights<\/a> following the crash, and remained closed on Monday, according to a statement posted on the Bangor Maine Police Department Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital’s Alex Nitzberg, Greg Wehner and The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
