Missouri's highway patrol agency under the state Department of Public Safety
A Pacific Aerospace P750XL has crashed shortly after takeoff from Butler Memorial Airport, Missouri, on Sunday, June 14, killing the pilot and 11 passengers. Emergency crews have extinguished a post‑crash fire and the NTSB and FAA have opened an investigation. Officials say weather does not appear to be a factor.
The National Weather Service has issued alerts as a large, deadly flood wave is barreling down the Guadalupe River in Texas, threatening Kerrville, Uvalde and other Hill Country communities. Rescue teams have already carried out dozens of high-water rescues; governors have declared disasters across dozens of counties as rainfall continues.
