Four people are dead and four are injured after a small aircraft lost an engine during takeoff at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita, Kansas, and crashed into a building.
The airplane, a King Air 10-seater, crashed into a Flight Safety building at Mid-Continent Airport, according to a statement by the Federal Aviation Administration.
