Anybody know anything about this?

17 Dead in Montana Plane Crash

I have no earthly idea how you would put 17 people into a PC-12...

CNN is reporting all pax were kids on a ski trip...I dont know much about the PC12, but I thought it was 9 seats max in the back? Surely the operator didnt pack 15 kids into 9 seats???

Might have something to do with the outcome.

People on the ground would be another possibility although I think it went down in a cemetery.

No kidding, I though thte same thing...I thought there are like 8 or 9 seats in it.

Reports are that it took a nose-dive 500 feet from the runway and that no may-day went out. RIP to all pax.

It crashed into a cemetery...I feel bad for the family's. Death is not good anytime but kids...

To my knowledge, the PC-12 doesn't have 17 seperate seatbelts for each pax.

I don't know who the operator is, but I see serious trouble here.

unless there was alot of kids under 2. horriible story

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved. I REALLY hope that the operator of that aircraft was not operating illegally... I was fairly certain a PC-12 couldn't hold that many pax
