A World War II aircraft crashed Wednesday morning when it was attempting to land at Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Conn., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
It wasn't immediately clear how many people were on board the plane or whether there were casualties. However, Connecticut Public Radio reported that "Hartford Hospital confirmed that it is expecting at least six people to be transferred to the hospital."
The plane was a vintage Boeing B-17 and it crashed at the end of a runway at 10 a.m. ET, according to the FAA. There was no immediate word on the cause.
The airport in the town of Windsor Locks said in a tweet that "we have an active fire and rescue operation underway" and that the airport was closed. The FAA said it has "put in a ground stop for flights that are destined for the airport."
