A Hawker 700, registered as N237WR, crashed one mile from the end of Runway 25 at Akron Fulton International Airport (KAKR) in Ohio yesterday after a flight from Dayton, Ohio. Nine people (two crew and seven passengers) are believed to have been on board the twinjet, an NTSB spokeman told AIN. All perished after the Hawker hit power lines, crashed into an unoccupied building, continued into an embankment and erupted into fire. No distress call was made before the aircraft went down, according to news reports.
