A Massachusetts plane crash on Wednesday afternoon has left multiple people dead and sparked a federal investigation, according to local authorities and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The crash occurred near a residential area in Greenfield, Massachusetts, when a small, privately owned aircraft went down shortly after takeoff. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but the wreckage was engulfed in flames by the time fire crews arrived.

Witnesses described hearing a loud engine sputter before a dramatic descent and explosion. “I heard a low-flying engine and then a loud bang,” said Amanda Reyes, a Greenfield resident whose backyard is adjacent to the crash site. “We saw smoke immediately and called 911.” At least three people were confirmed to be on board, though officials have not yet released their identities.

The Massachusetts State Police, along with local firefighters and medical crews, worked into the evening to recover evidence and clear the debris. FAA and NTSB officials arrived shortly after the crash to begin their analysis. Early reports suggest mechanical failure could be a factor, though weather conditions were reported as clear and stable at the time of the flight.

According to flight tracking data, the aircraft had departed from a small regional airport in western Massachusetts en route to New Jersey. The flight lasted less than 10 minutes before tragedy struck. Investigators will examine maintenance records, pilot history, and any black box data to determine the cause.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey issued a statement expressing condolences to the victims’ families, praising the swift response of first responders. “Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy,” Healey said. “We will continue to support the investigation and the local community in every way we can.”

As the Massachusetts plane crash investigation unfolds, many in the region are left shaken. Aviation experts say small aircraft accidents, while rare, underscore the importance of stringent safety checks and pilot training. The final NTSB report may take several weeks or even months, but officials have promised transparency throughout the process.
