The Federal Aviation Administration told CNN the Beechcraft Sierra aircraft crashed north of Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport just before 7 p.m. Friday.

Keene Mayor George Hansel said two people inside the plane were killed but that it was “fortunate” that no one on the ground died as well.
He said Saturday that the investigation was in its early stages and did not provide the names of the people people who died, according the NBC News. He said he didn’t know about how experienced the pilot was.

Scott Gauthier, who is a resident of the building that the plane crashed into told the The Keene Sentinel that the multi-family residence is home to 10 people in five different apartments. He said he was home when “something fell and then the building shook.”
“It sounded like something hit the parking lot in the back, and all I know is my mom went up to check and started screaming, ‘Get out of the house!’,” he told the paper.
