According to witnesses the aircraft, a CL-601 Challenger jet, with the Ebersols and three crew members aboard, taxied at 9:59 a.m. at Montrose Regional Airport in wet snow and 50 yards’ visibility. Taking off, the plane barely got aloft. Seconds later it slammed down at the end of the small, 7,500-ft. runway, crashing through a fence and skidding another quarter mile onto a neighboring dairy-cow farm.

I saw this kid [Charlie] waving his arms. He was screaming to me, ‘My brother was in the plane! He’s in the fourth row. Please help me get him out.’ Thrown clear of the plane, Charlie had already rushed back inside and pulled his father to safety. His dad was sitting on the ground behind him, and he was just rocking.
