A Texas father has been identified as the copilot and final victim killed in a fiery plane crash in Maine last week.
Jorden Reidel, 33, was among the six people killed when the Bombardier Challenger 600 jet, which was bound for Paris, France, flipped and caught fire on the runway during takeoff at about 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 25.
Reidel, of Conroe, Texas, began his aviation career during high school, earning his private pilot license when he graduated in 2010 at the age of 17, according to his obituary.
“With his passion and strong work ethics, Jorden always strived toward advancing his training and received his helicopter rotorcraft rating in 2023. With his airline and helicopter licenses thus achieving his dream to be able to fly the open skies,” his obituary read.

Arnold’s husband, Kurt, had co-founded Arnold & Itkin, a personal injury firm where she had worked.
The Arnolds had recently started the concierge service Beyond for travelers who could have their every need met at properties in Turks & Caicos and Telluride, Colorado, for as much as $15,000 to $30,000 a night.
They were flying from Houston to France’s Champagne region to scope out the next travel destination for high-net-worth clients, stopping in Bangor to refuel, when the small jet crashed as a snowstorm moved in and burst into flames.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Experts say the National Transportation Safety Board is expected to examine the approaching storm and whether ice buildup on the wings prevented the aircraft from becoming airborne, a problem that has occurred at least twice before with the same model. Investigators, however, will review all possible factors.

A Pennsylvania man who brought a gun and other weapons to a rally in West Chester last year has been sentenced to more than three years behind bars.
A federal judge sentenced Kevin Krebs, 32, of Malvern, Pennsylvania, to 37 months in prison and three years of supervised release for possessing unregistered explosive devices, officials announced Tuesday.
Krebs was arrested on June 14, 2025, in the area of North High Street in West Chester, near a “No Kings” protest against President Trump’s deportation policies and other actions by his administration.
Police arrested Krebs with a fully loaded concealed Sig Sauer P320 handgun under a yellow raincoat, an M9 bayonet, a pocket knife, pepper spray, a ski mask and gloves. Court documents showed police also found an AR-15-style rifle on the floor of Kreb’s SUV. Investigators said Krebs did not have a concealed carry permit.
Investigators found over a dozen improvised explosive devices, including pipe bombs, at his home on Conestoga Road days after his arrest.
Krebs pleaded guilty to the federal charges in December.
A state case against Krebs is still pending.
Lixeandro Andrade, 28, and Zahir Fortes, 19, were both arrested Monday on charges of carrying a pistol or firearm without a license and large capacity feeding devices prohibited, the state police said in a media release.
Andrade and Fortes were processed at the Lincoln Woods Barracks and arraigned, according to the release.
Two people were injured when an SUV drove into a swimming pool at the popular Smugglers’ Notch Resort in Cambridge, Vermont, on Monday afternoon.
Vermont State Police said the incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. Monday when the vehicle drove through a fence and landed in the pool, where it became stuck.
“I just heard a bang and a car went there,” 9-year-old Joseph Sage told WPTZ. “It hit my head and it pulled me under.”
He said his dad pulled him and another girl out of the pool.
State police confirmed two people suffered minor injuries and were treated by members of the Cambridge Rescue Squad.
The SUV was pulled out of the water several hours later and towed away.
Photos shared by Notch Road Auto Repair, Towing and Recovery showed the vehicle partially submerged in the pool and also being towed out afterward.
A state police trooper was seen placing a person in handcuffs and putting them in the back of a cruiser. Witnesses told WPTZ hat the person taken into custody was the driver of the SUV, but state police did not release any details on charges being filed in connection with the crash.
Resort officials said nothing like this ever happened before. They said the speed limit on the property is 14 miles an hour, and encouraged people to be extra cautious and attentive while driving there. The pool remains closed until furher notice, the resort said.
