00:00At approximately 7.45 p.m. last night, there was an accident emboldening.
00:05A single GA aircraft that was departing from Bangor International Airport.
00:10The aircraft was a Bombardier CL 600 or emergency.
00:15The emergency protocols were immediately activated and first responders were on scene.
00:20In addition to the Main Air National Guard initial response with their...
00:25...fire and rescue vehicles, the Bangor Fire Department and approximately 10 other...
00:30...municipalities responded to the scene.
00:33An emergency operations centre...
00:35...was established to oversee response...
00:40...and remains active.
00:41The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal...
00:45...Aviation Administration have been notified and are responding to Bangor International Airport.
00:50And we expect them to arrive later on today.
00:53The airport remains close.
00:55And additional updates will be provided as soon as they are available when we can share additional details.
01:00...to the public.
01:02We appreciate your understanding in...
01:05...to the patients regarding the incident and ask that you continue to respect the privacy of those involved...
01:10...in this incident.
01:11Once the FAA and the NTSB are on site...
01:15...we'll work together with them to provide additional information as soon as that becomes...
01:20...available.
01:21Snow removal operations were in progress and again there were planes...
01:25...landing and departing at that...
01:27...around that time of the incident.
01:30Would a private plane impact that at all?
01:32Would a commercial flight not have taken off last night?
01:35Uh, there were commercial planes landing and deporting...
01:37...uh at around that time.
01:38If you have seven pilot units left, that's it very perfectly okay.
01:40Will
01:54vanilla
01:56we are securing and monitoring the scene.
02:01Does the weather impact any operations at all last night, whether the cold or the snow?
02:06Well, as you are all aware, there was a major storm that was making its way across.
02:11The vicinity and across the country, so the weather was a factor in many areas.
02:16And I think that even before the accident or...
02:21There was a significant amount of cancellation.
02:26We'll see you next time.
