Two People Identified In Sunday’s Deadly Plane Crash In Bangor; Here Are The Latest Details

As Monday draws to a close, we're learning more about the deadly plane crash that took place at Bangor International Airport Sunday evening.

Airport officials and members of the Bangor Police Department released information earlier this afternoon that the six people were aboard the  Bombardier CL-600-2B16 jet when it flipped over and crashed into runway 33 just before 8 PM Sunday, killing everyone on the plane.

This number differed from earlier reports released by the FAA, which said 7 people had died and another had been injured.

Airport officials say their numbers came straight from the flight manifest.

The FAA said the aircraft "crashed under unknown circumstances on departure, came to rest inverted, and caught fire."

Shortly after it was confirmed that all souls on board had perished, news station KHOU 11 in Houston, TX obtained recordings of conversations between the air traffic control personnel and the pilots waiting to take off from BIA on Sunday evening. The conversations centered around the poor weather and icy conditions flight crews were encountering on the runway.

At one point, a pilot can be heard talking about de-icing issues with the tower, stating that "my guys are trying to make us go, but I keep telling them this is stupid," before they discussed attempting to de-ice things again.

It's now believed that one of the people on board was 46-year-old Tara Arnold, a well-known Houston attorney who worked with her husband, Kurt Arnold, at a law firm they both started.

According to a post by The Daily Mail, Arnold was heading for a trip overseas to Paris with several of her friends when the crash occurred.

"Tara, a commercial lawyer with decades of experience, worked at her husband's law firm, Arnold & Itkin, since it was established in 2005. She and Kurt live in an $11 million mansion in Houston with their two children, Jaxon and Isla."

WMTW obtained an interview with Leslie Briones, Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner in Texas, from their ABC affiliate. Briones spoke of how her heart and prayers go out to Kurt Arnold and the couple's young children.

Another Houston TV station, KPRC 2-Click 2 Houston, has released the identity of the plane's pilot.

They say confirmation that 47-year-old Jacob Hosmer, a Houston-area pilot, was the captain of the flight came from the man's father, Gary.

“He’s in Heaven now with Jesus,” Gary Hosmer told KPRC 2.

Jose Saavedra, Director of the Bangor International Airport, said a team of investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration was expected to arrive at BIA by Monday evening.

Once on site, they will assess the crash scene and collect evidence. For now, the site of the impact has remained untouched and on the runway where the incident took place. Upon completion, the debris would be moved to a secure location inside for further investigation.

Airport officials say Bangor International Airport will be closed at least through Wednesday at noon. They have advised travelers who had plans to come through Bangor to be in contact with the airlines directly to make alternate arrangements.

Much of the nation's air travel is still being impacted by the huge storm that swept over the U.S. over the weekend.

We will update this story when further details are released.
