26:47Now PlayingSeven people are dead and six others injured 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.
"Victims are very difficult to identify," Rovella said, "We don't want to make a mistake."
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement a Boeing B-17 crashed at the end of Runway 6 while attempting to land.
"It is a civilian registered aircraft, not flown by the military," federal officials said.
A state official told The Associated Press five people had died, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon said at a news conference the four-engine, propeller-driven took off at 9:45 a.m. before the pilot indicated to the tower the aircraft was "experiencing some kind of problem."
