A skydiving plane has crashed in north-eastern France, killing all 11 people onboard, according to the region’s prefect.
The parachuting-school plane crashed near Nancy at 11am, said Yves Séguy, the prefect of the Meurthe-et-Moselle region.
The pilot and 10 passengers – five students and five instructors – died, the prefecture reported.
The plane suffered a malfunction and “fell almost vertically” after taking off from Nancy-Essey airfield on the outskirts of Nancy, Séguy said.
It’s even more pretty fucking upsetting reading that some family members went to support and watch and just saw the plane take off and then crash
