- Eight people were aboard the business jet, with three crew members and five passengers reported by media outlets.
- Air traffic control halted operations immediately, and recordings captured a controller reporting the aircraft upside down as crews reached the site within a minute.
- The airport suspended flights overnight as a powerful winter storm reduced visibility across the region.
- The NTSB joined the FAA investigation, and some reports identified the aircraft as a Challenger 650 registered to a Houston company.
