00:00FAA officials are trying to figure out what caused a private plane in Maine to flip completely upside
00:06down and then crash this week, killing all six people on board. As the investigation kicks into
00:12high gear, we're getting some truly eerie audio from the incident. Listen to this. It's a recording.
00:20This is the radio recording taken just as the plane is preparing to take off seconds before
00:25the tragic crash. I know it's weird and it's not yet clear who made that remark. A pilot,
00:34air traffic control, we don't know. We also don't know what they were referring to. Then 45 seconds
00:40after clearing the jet to take off, this was captured on the radio frequency. All traffic
00:46is stopped on the field. All traffic is stopped on the field. Aircraft upside down. We had a
00:51pass. We're getting aircraft upside down. The plane is registered to one of the founding members of a
00:56Texas personal injury law firm, Arnold and Itkin. Now, the crash occurred over the weekend during
01:01Winter Storm Fern. So naturally, there's a question about what role weather could have played. It was
01:07snowing hard at the time, but only a few inches had stuck when the whole thing happened and officials
01:12confirmed that other planes were taking off safely. That said, one aviation safety consultant said that
01:18this particular aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 600 has a history of problems with icing at takeoff.
