Four people have been revealed to have died in a plane crash at London Southend Airport as investigators try to find out why the aircraft plummeted to the ground seconds after take-off. The airport remains shut after the Beechcraft B200 aircraft crashed to the ground and erupted in a fireball on Sunday afternoon.

London's Southend Airport said, “All flights to and from the airport have been cancelled while police, emergency services and air accident investigators are attending the incident.”
