YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A private plane heading to pick up St. Louis Cardinals legend Yadier Molina in Texas crashed just minutes after taking off in the Dominican Republic, killing the pilot and co-pilot.

The US-registered Gulfstream G200 Galaxy executive jet had taken off for Austin when the crew reported problems on board, forcing the pilot to attempt an emergency return to the airport Sunday.

It crashed in a massive fireball, killing the pilot and co-pilot, the only people onboard, officials said. Neither was immediately identified.
