Tragedy struck at London Southend Airport as a Beech B200 Super King Air aircraft crashed just seconds after takeoff, erupting into flames and killing all on board. The twin-engine turboprop was en route to Lelystad, Netherlands, when it suddenly banked left, flipped, and plunged nose-first into the ground, creating a massive fireball.
In this video, we take a closer look at the Beechcraft B200 Super King Air — its design, purpose, and how it’s used globally for business, medical, and military operations. The aircraft, operated by Dutch firm Zeusch Aviation, had completed two flights earlier that day before the tragic crash.
