NTSB: Plane that crashed on Oahu's North Shore outfitted to carry 13 people DILLINGHAM AIRFIELD, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) -Investigators with the National Transportation Security Board Sunday remained at the scene of a deadly skydiving plane crash that killed 11 people. Dillingham Airfield remained closed since Friday's accident, and the wreck cordoned off with yellow police tape. Officials don't anticipate reopening the airfield until at least Tuesday, once investigators have collected all the evidence needed. NTSB Board Member Jennifer Homendy spoke to the media detailing the limited information available Sunday. "This is the deadliest accident involving a civil airplane in the United States since 2011," Homendy said. "We're here to determine how this happened, why it happened, so we can determine what safety measures are needed to prevent it from happening again." Sending her condolences and sympathies to the families and loved ones of those involved, Homendy said the NTSB would examine all factors of the crash with their team of 11 specialists from around the country. Homendy said the Beechcraft 65 King Air operated by the Oahu Parachute Center was outfitted to carry 13 people on board. Although officials said 11 people were on board, it is still too early to rule out issues such as weight and balance. Over the next three to four days, Homendy said her team will remain on scene collecting "perishable evidence" which includes parts of the plane, records, log books and more. "On behalf of the NTSB, I'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to those to lost loved ones in this terrible tragedy. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you," Homendy added. The plane was "about 5,500 feet from roll, which is about a mile and a quarter," Homendy said. "It turned to the left and then came to rest inverted north side of the runway off of runway 8." The wreckage will remain unmoved for the next few days until all the evidence is collected. Sunday afternoon, Gov. David Ige released a statement saying: "The people of Hawai'i join me in extending our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the 11 lives lost on Friday evening. I want to assure you that the state will do whatever it can to assist with the federal investigation. We will miss the energy, vitality and spirit of those lost in this terrible crash." A preliminary report is expected within 10 to 14 days. The final report is usually released 18 to 24 months after an incident. To help investigators further, they're asking witnesses to come forward and submit any footage, photos or information they may have regarding the crash.
