CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A commuter plane taking off with 21 people aboard crashed into a maintenance hangar Wednesday at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. A police spokesman said there didn't appear to be any survivors.

 

 

 

"The plane is so destroyed there's not much to see," said police spokesman Keith Bridges. "The debris is in such bad shape."

 

 

Nineteen passengers and two crew members were on Air Midwest Flight 5481, a Beech 1900 twin-engine turboprop departing for Greenville-Spartanburg, Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites) spokeswoman Laura Brown said.

 

 

"We don't know the extent of the injury or the damage," Brown said.

 

 

Bridges told CNN two people on the ground were also unaccounted for but could be elsewhere.

 

 

The plane crashed as it was taking off in clear, windy weather just before 9 a.m. The last radio contact was clearance for takeoff, Brown said.

 

 

The plane veered into the hangar, authorities said. Winds were gusting at the time, police said.
