Maine plane crash victims worked for luxury travel startup led by Texas lawyer

Maine Plane Crash - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The six people killed in a fiery plane crash in Maine were flying to scope out the next travel destination for high-net-worth clients when their small jet flipped on the runway during takeoff.

They included an acclaimed chef, a sommelier and an event planner working for Tara Arnold, 46, a Houston lawyer-turned-entrepreneur and philanthropist. Local police confirmed the death of Arnold and three of the others on Tuesday. They were flying from Houston to France’s Champagne region, stopping in Bangor to refuel, when the Bombardier Challenger 600 crashed as a snowstorm moved in and burst into flames.
