Update: Death toll is four now.

Only a few miles from the airport, wonder if they had engine failure just after takeoff.

Hey, hey, hey... I owned a Beech Bonanza A33. Flew it from New England to the Caribbean twice and consequently through the Bermuda Triangle 4 times. Awesome plane. Never let me down --- unless I asked it to.

Wow, this is just down the road. So sorry to the relatives of the 3 people who perished.

I've been out of network the last couple hours. I'll look and update.

The death toll is four now, all believed to be adults. Weather wasn't very good at the time. Visibility dropped from four miles at takeoff to about half a mile.

Judging by the # in your name I'm guessing you are in the Worcester area. Ever fly it to Northampton (7B2)? That's my home airport.
