Overview
- The Maine medical examiner removed all six victims from the wreckage on Thursday and is working to confirm identities, with five of the six already named by family and friends.
- Bangor International Airport resumed operations around noon Thursday after a multi-day closure that disrupted dozens of flights.
- The NTSB recovered the cockpit voice and flight data recorders for analysis in Washington and says a preliminary factual report is expected within about 30 days.
- The jet had refueled and received de-icing in Bangor before takeoff, and investigators are reviewing holdover times and conditions after another aircraft earlier aborted departure citing visibility and the need for more de-icing.
- Records show the plane is registered to an LLC linked to Houston law firm Arnold & Itkin, and those identified include attorney Tara Arnold, event planner Shawna Collins, chef Nick Mastrascusa, sommelier Shelby Kuyawa, and pilot Jacob Hosmer.
