THOMSON, Ga. -- Five people are confirmed dead after a small plane crashed in Thomson-McDuffie County Wednesday night. The pilot, one of only two survivors, managed to walk away from the wreckage.
The Hawker Beechcraft 390/Premier One jet crashed shortly after 8 p.m. at Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport.
"It looks like it may have just overshot the runway, just barely missing a manufacturing building and crashing in the woods," said McDuffie County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Ronnie Williamson.
The plane came to rest in a field behind a factory about a mile east of the airport.
"It was demolished," said McDuffie County Sheriff Logan Marshall said.
The crash sparked a brush fire and knocked out power to the area.
"It was like a boom," said Rhonda Bouthry, who lives near the airport. "The power flickered on and off. It wasn't off but about 20 minutes."
FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said seven people were on board the flight from John Tune Airport in Nashville. A male passenger was the other survivor.
Bergen said the plane departed from Nashville at 7:28 p.m and was registered to a limited liability corporation in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Augusta Chronicle reports that the plane was connected to The Vein Guys medical clinic in Augusta. The clinic also has an office in Buckhead.
