July 3, 2025
A New Jersey skydiving company says its pilot encountered mechanical issues that prompted an emergency landing at a small New Jersey airport but couldn’t get the plane stopped at the end of the runway. Skydive Cross Keys said Thursday that the plane was at about 3,000 feet when the problem arose. Fifteen people were aboard the plane. As of Thursday afternoon, three remain in critical condition at a New Jersey hospital and five others are listed as serious. Authorities say the Cessna 208B reported engine trouble after takeoff from Cross Keys Airport on Wednesday evening.
