The plane crashed at Southend Airport News
Around 4 PM, a Beechcraft B200 King Air, a medically transporting aircraft operated by Zeusch Aviation from Southend Airport, crashed after taking-off, IN and then what we assume was intended to be a trip to Lelystad, Netherlands, but instead careened head first into the ground in what could only be described as an enormous fireball. Emergency services responding to the incident included the Essex Police, Fire and Rescue Services, and the East of England Ambulance Services. The airport was instantly closed down, with flights delayed indefinitely.
Plane Crashed at Southend Airport News
Paging Southend Airport as well! The airport must be cold until July 14, 2025, but the angle is to suggest that anyone needing to fly, hopefully, it will not be long to wait or for the information. The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) and the Essex Police are conducting an investigation into the accident. Early indications suggest that the aircraft somehow left Pula earlier than scheduled and, on take-off, sustained a fatal malfunction. A video that surfaced solely on social media accounts shows black smoke clouds from the disaster it illustrates.
Mortality figures are still unclear as no fatalities have yet been confirmed by officials. The flight, a 12-meter medevac jet, was transporting an unspecified number of passengers and crew. Witnesses characterised the crash as horrific, one local reporting ‘I’ve never seen anything like it’. They have said nothing officially on deaths which makes families with people on board very nervous. Emergency services, including four ambulances and an air ambulance, had been dispatched, indicating the potential for significant injuries.

The crash has made the headlines as a tragic, exceptional accident in London’s air disaster history. The plane went down at Southend Airport, 40 miles to the east of London’s city centre, a smaller hub for carriers like EasyJet. The crash has caused chaos in air traffic with EasyJet rerouting flights to different terminals. The smoke and fireball could be seen from the airport terminal, with the passengers and onlookers stunned.
