DALLAS _ All 10 people aboard a small plane died Sunday morning when it crashed into a hangar on takeoff at Addison Airport, authorities say.
The twin-engine Beechcraft BE-350 King Air was destroyed by flames after it crashed at 9:10 a.m. local time, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.
Addison spokeswoman Mary Rosenbleeth confirmed there were no survivors on the plane. The hangar was not occupied at the time of the crash.
Details of the flight's manifest have not been released, but flightaware.com showed a Beechcraft Super King Air 350 had been scheduled to depart about 9 a.m. for St. Petersburg, Fla.
The names of the people who died were not released while officials worked to notify their families, Rosenbleeth said.
Dallas County is helping the city of Addison set up a family assistance center for people affected by the crash, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said.
"It's a very sad day for Dallas County," he said. "My prayers are with the families we're notifying about this tragedy."
Officials had offered no details about what led to the crash, but CBS News reported that sources said the plane had lost an engine and banked left immediately upon takeoff.
Addison fire spokesman Edward Martelle said authorities hadn't confirmed who owned the plane.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA were sending investigators to the scene, Lunsford said.
"The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation," he said.
UT Southwestern medical vehicles could be seen coming and going from the airport, which was closed for about 45 after the crash before operations resumed.
