Firefighters and an ambulance are at the scene of a plane crash at Bradley Airport, Connecticut, in which a WWII-era aircraft crashed while attempting to land.



The airport tweeted confirmation of the crash, and said it has been closed as “we have an active fire and rescue operation underway.” It’s not clear how many people were on board the plane, which the FAA said is civilian-registered. The airport said the aircraft is linked to the Collings Foundation military history group.


Photos and footage posted on social media show flames raging near the ground and black smoke rising above the airport.
