NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
All passengers aboard a private business jet that crashed as it was taking off from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday night are “presumed to be deceased,” according to authorities.
The deadly plane crash comes as Winter Storm Fern pummels the U.S., snarling air travel, wreaking havoc on the roads and plunging millions of Americans into darkness with widespread power outages.
According to the FAA, there were eight people onboard the plane – seven passengers and one flight crew member. The FAA’s website listed the flight crew member as seriously injured and the passengers as fatalities.
Bangor Police, however, released a statement on Monday saying sources are providing information that has “not been verified or vetted through all appropriate channels before being released.”

The crash happened around 7:45 p.m. local time. The FAA said the jet crashed under “unknown circumstances” on departure. The agency said the jet flipped upside down and caught on fire.

House committee requests Vermont Medicaid fraud data
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – A Congressional committee has requested documentation from Vermont on possible fraud, waste, and abuse in the state’s Medicaid program. It comes as the Trump administration last week announced a “war on fraud” in the program that provides public health insurance for low-income people.
The U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce wants Vermont to provide documentation by March 17 showing the state has a plan in place to identify and address fraud.
Lawmakers cited recent fraud investigations and convictions in Vermont as concerning, and noted that Medicaid costs in the state are rising despite declining enrollment.
Jill Mazza Olson with the Vermont Agency of Human Services said the state intends to respond. “We take fraud, waste, and abuse really seriously. It sounds like Congress is taking it seriously. We know that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services take it seriously. And it is really a multi-pronged approach. So, oversight is part of what Congress does. And we are looking forward to responding to that,” she said.
Vermont is one of 10 states nationwide asked to provide data and information to the committee. Some targeted Democratic state officials have decried the Republican administration’s moves as politically motivated and potentially disastrous for the millions of people who rely on the program.
