15:54Now PlayingFatalities and multiple injuries were reported Wednesday after a World War II-era bomber plane crashed in a fireball as it tried to land Wednesday at New England’s second-busiest 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, according to FOX News.
Rovella added that one person was also on the ground in a maintenance facility and injured when the plane crashed.
"There are fatalities," Rovella told reporters, adding that it was too soon to discuss specific numbers due to the complexities of the crash scene.
"Victims are very difficult to identify," Rovella said. "We don't want to make a mistake.“
Black smoke rose from the airport as emergency crews responded to the crash of the B-17 bomber at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, just north of Hartford.
