The Nine O Nine, a Collings Foundation B17, crashed on landing at Bradley International Airport (Hartford Ct) this morning as it slid off the runway, killing 7 of the 13 onboard


The FAA said the craft went down at the end of Runway 6 at about 10 a.m. and slid off. At least six victims of the crash were taken to Hartford Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said.

 Bradley, the second-largest airport in New England, was closed and the FAA put in a ground stop for all flights heading towards the airport.
