A small skydiving airplane crashed outside a Tennessee airport on Sunday, injuring multiple people, but miraculously, all 20 passengers on board survived the ordeal.
According to the Associated Press, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter plane crashed shortly after it departed Tullahoma Regional Airport.
The skydiving plane encountered an unspecified issue shortly after takeoff and crashed into a wooded area, Tullahoma City Administrator Jason Quick reported during a Sunday evening briefing.
Three individuals were airlifted to a hospital in the Nashville area, while four others were transported to a local medical facility. Medics at the scene provided treatment for those with minor injuries.
On Sunday, FAA officials spoke with passengers and potential witnesses to the Crash, according to Jason Quick. He added that the National Transportation Safety Board has announced it will take over the investigation.
