VIDEO: The two people on board a small plane that crashed at a small mid-coast Maine airport have died, officials say. Maine State Police say the names of the pilot and passenger involved are not being released until positive identification is made by a state medical examiner, and once next of kin are notified. The Federal Aviation Administration confirms to Maine's Total Coverage that a single-engine Cirrus SR22 crashed while trying to land at the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton. The FAA said the incident happened at about 12:25 p.m. Thursday. The plane was arriving from the Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey, having taken off at around 10:15 a.m. EST. The crash happened off the end of the runway; the plane was reported to be on fire.
