(video credits: Fox News Live) Five employees of an environmental consulting firm died when a small airplane they were traveling in crashed near a Little Rock factory on Feb. 22, 2023 shortly after taking off, authorities said. The twin-engine plane crashed outside an industrial area in Little Rock, a couple of miles south of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Cody Burk said. The Federal Aviation Administration said five people were on board the plane.

CTEH, an environmental consulting firm based in North Little Rock, said the five people on board the plane — including the pilot — were responding to an explosion at an Ohio metals plant this week that killed one worker and sent more than a dozen to the hospital.
