A plane carrying 11 skydivers and one pilot crashed south of Kansas City, killing all 12 aboard. The crash marks one of the deadliest skydiving accidents in recent U.S. history. Initial reports provided no information on the cause of the crash or the circumstances that led to it.
Skydiving accidents of this magnitude are rare. A plane carrying skydivers is supposed to reach altitude, the skydivers exit safely, and the plane returns. A crash before anyone could exit, or with multiple divers aboard, suggests something went catastrophically wrong during the flight. The NTSB will investigate to determine whether the cause was mechanical failure, pilot error, or another factor.
These investigations typically take months. In the meantime, the skydiving operation and potentially other similar operations will face scrutiny about safety protocols and maintenance records.
