February 24, 2019Earlier today, a Boeing 767 cargo jetliner traveling from Miami to Houston crashed in the Trinity Bay.
Lynn Lunsford, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the twin-engine Boeing 767 cargo jetliner crashed just before 1 p.m.
Lunsford said the plane — operated by Atlas Air — was en route to Houston’s George Bush International Airport. The Chamber County Sheriff’s Office said there were no survivors.
Sheriff Brian Hawthorne described the crash site as “total devastation” and said the cleanup could take weeks.
“When I got out there, it was just floating debris. Everything from bedsheets to women’s clothing to cardboard boxes to a lot of fiberglass. Then as we got closer, we started seeing plane debris,” Hawthorne said. “Knowing what I saw, I can’t believe anyone could survive it.”
Sadly, it doesn’t sound like the three people aboard survived.

Horrible plane accident outside of Houston. A 767 flying from Miami to Houston crashed just east of Houston in Trinity Bay. Radar showed storms. Praying for the families. pic.twitter.com/fVa7BZdluN
