Howland Township Fire Chief Raymond Pace said emergency workers had difficulty reaching the crash site. 'We're very fortunate. This is a extremely tragic situation, but it could have been worse,' he said, pointing out that three homes were located near the crash site.
Michael Hillman, president of aviation company JETS FBO Network, said the people on board were experienced professionals. 'These were the best of the best in terms of the folks here at the field, as well as the pilots,' Hillman said. 'I'd give anything to rewind the day and take them to breakfast instead.'
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the crash. The NTSB will lead the inquiry.

US students banned from posting about sorority rush as RushTok on TikTok turns toxic: Here's why Greek life is going offline
Sisters Kylan Darnell, 21, left, and Izzy Darnell, 19, pose for a photo on Aug. 14, 2025, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. (AP Photo) Sororities across the US are implementing strict social media bans during recruitment week, marking a significant shift from the viral TikTok phenomenon that once celebrated Greek life culture. Sororities are exclusive women's social organisations at American universities, typically founded on principles of sisterhood, academic achievement and community service, with membership considered a privilege that students must earn through a competitive selection process. The move comes after several high-profile cases where students faced severe online harassment following their participation in "RushTok" content. Kylan Darnell, who became an overnight celebrity through her University of Alabama sorority content four years ago, has stepped back from social media after experiencing mental health impacts from negative reactions to her posts, as reported by the Associated Press. The 21-year-old rising senior, who was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, previously embodied the RushTok movement that documented the week-long recruitment process. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Sororities cite harassment concerns Many sororities have issued de facto bans against speaking to press or posting on social media during rush week at Alabama, which hosts the nation's largest on-campus Greek life with nearly 13,000 participating students, according to the Associated Press. The measures are designed to protect prospects from harassment that has become increasingly common as the recruitment process, known as "rush," involves students trying out for sororities through rounds of activities with strict dress codes and etiquette requirements. Financial pressures of recruitment The recruitment process carries substantial financial commitments for participants. This week's 2,600 recruits each paid $550 to participate in a non-refundable fee structure, as reported by the Associated Press. Accepted members face average costs of $8,400 per semester to live in sorority houses, or $4,100 if residing elsewhere, according to the Alabama Panhellenic Association. Students often spend tens of thousands on outfits, makeup and travel expenses before even beginning the process. An entire consulting industry has emerged, with some services charging up to $10,000 for months of guidance beginning in high school, as students submit "social resumes" and letters of recommendation from sorority alumni. Social media influence and consequences Morgan Cadenhead, now 20, gained such a following through RushTok despite being dropped that she covered most of her tuition through social media income, the Associated Press reported. However, she faced significant online criticism for her comments about Greek life and now seeks offline employment opportunities. The marketing major was featured on Lifetime's "Sorority Mom's Guide to Rush!" programme. Lorie Stefaneli, a New York City-based consultant who works with students nationwide, told the Associated Press she serves as "literally a therapist" during rush week, taking calls at all hours. "I'm talking these girls down from a ledge," she said, as reported by the Associated Press. Strict posting policies implemented Multiple incoming freshmen confirmed to the Associated Press that they were explicitly prohibited from media interviews or rush-related social media posts. Darnell noted that selective "Old Row" houses automatically drop prospects who post content during recruitment. "Now a lot of girls just come to the university to be influencers," Darnell told the Associated Press. "It kind of gets in the way of sisterhood." Some students, including Darnell's 19-year-old sister Izzy, continue posting despite restrictions, generating millions of views within days whilst satisfying demand for content about the traditionally secretive process.

Plane Crashes Into Parked Aircraft At US Airport, Clouds Of Smoke Seen
Kalispell: A small plane landing on Monday at a Montana airport crashed into a parked aircraft, triggering a large fire but causing no serious injuries, authorities said. The single-engine plane carrying four people was attempting to land at about 2 p.m. at the Kalispell City Airport, according to Kalispell Police Chief Jordan Venezio and the Federal Aviation Administration. 2 planes collided at Kalispell Airport, erupting into a massive fireball. Details on casualties are still unknown, but rescue crews are flooding the scene in a major emergency response. Source: @nicksortor — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) August 11, 2025 The Socata TBM 700 turboprop aircraft struck an unoccupied plane on the ground, according to the FAA. A fire from the crash spread to a grassy area before it was extinguished, Venezio said, adding that several aircraft were involved. The small, city-owned airport is just south of Kalispell, a city of about 30,000 people in northwest Montana. Witnesses said a plane approached from the south, crash-landed at the end of the runway and careened into another aircraft, Kalispell Fire Chief Jay Hagen said. The plane that was attempting to land burst into flames but the pilot and three passengers were able to get out on their own after it came to a stop, Hagen said. Ron Danielson, who manages a nearby inn, said he heard and saw the crash before plumes of dark smoke filled the area. 'It sounded like if you were to stick your head in a bass drum and somebody smacked it as hard as they could,' he said. Two passengers were slightly hurt and treated at the airport, Hagen said. The plane was built in 2011 and owned by Meter Sky LLC of Pullman, Washington, FAA records show. Company representatives did not immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment. Aviation safety consultant Jeff Guzzetti, who used to investigate crashes for both the FAA and NTSB, said incidents where planes crash into parked aircrafts happen a few times a year in general aviation. In one high-profile incident in February, a Learjet owned by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil veered off a runway in Scottsdale, Arizona, and crashed into a parked Gulfstream, killing one person. The NTSB said that crash may have been related to prior damage to the landing gear, but investigators haven't determined the cause.

Guinea pigs to lions? Danish zoo wants unwanted pets for predator meals
In a move that's raising both eyebrows and debate, a zoo in Denmark is asking the public to consider donating their small pets not for adoption, but for animal Zoo, located in northern Denmark, says it's trying to recreate the natural food chain for its carnivores and is encouraging people to hand over animals like rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens — even horses — to be euthanized and fed to predators inside the the sake of both animal welfare and professional integrity,' the zoo wrote in a Facebook post, 'we try to mimic nature as closely as possible when it comes to feeding our predators.' The zoo insists all animals will be 'gently euthanized' by trained staff and used in a way that promotes the 'natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators.''That way, nothing goes to waste,' the zoo post includes a photo of a wildcat with its jaws open and a link to the zoo's website, where it also notes interest in receiving larger animals, including horses.'If you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us,' the zoo said, though it did not clarify whether other common pets like cats or dogs would be accepted. The zoo has not provided further request has sparked a mix of reactions online — with some applauding the transparency and practicality of the idea, and others disturbed by the concept of pets becoming prey.- EndsInputs from Associated Press
