The federal investigation into the crash of a private jet that killed six people at Bangor International Airport has been hampered by extreme weather, the airport's director said Wednesday, including deep snow that has blanketed the scene and covered the burned wreckage.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration joined state and local authorities at the scene, and recovered the cockpit voice and data recorders for analysis. The state medical examiner’s office also was there, to remove the bodies of the victims and formally identify them. The airport will remain closed until at least 9 a.m. Thursday, director Jose Saavedra said.
