What happened

All 10 people aboard a Cessna 402 were killed after it crashed in North Andros shortly after departing Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport for San Andros Airport around 1 p.m. Friday. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said the victims were nine men and one woman, and the Bahamas Musicians and Entertainers Union said they included members of Da Pond Band and a local DJ. Bahamian aviation officials temporarily grounded Flamingo Air flights and opened an accident investigation, also citing a separate aircraft fire the same day.
