On Thursday night, a plane with nine people on board crashed at the airport in Örebro in Sweden.
Eight parachutists and the pilot died in the accident.
It is still uncertain what is the cause of the accident. It reports Swedish Aftonbladet Friday.
Dagbladet has been in contact with Flightradar24, for information about the plane that crashed.
The aircraft must have been a Havilland DHC-2 Beaver aircraft.
The type of aircraft that crashed was a single-engine turbine-powered vessel that was converted from a piston engine to a turbine. This usually provides more performance and reliability. Thomas Hytten, flight operations inspector and head of general aviation at the Civil Aviation Authority, explains this to Dagbladet.

On Flightradar24 its sides, it appears that the aircraft in question must have been in the air 11 times earlier in the same day. This is confirmed by Mikael Robertsson in Flightradar24 to Dagbladet.
It was on the 12th trip it went wrong. Robertsson states that they did not receive enough data about the aircraft for it to be published on their pages.
“However, we recovered nine points with data from the aircraft,” says Robertsson.
Nine people died after a plane crash
Flightradar24 succeeded in obtaining six of the aircraft’s positions in a period of two minutes. Robertsson can tell that the plane was heading slightly to the south and that it was turning to the left as it went down.
– The plane lost speed five, almost six times, faster than it normally should, says Robertsson and adds:
– It went very fast. It took about three seconds from the moment it stopped climbing meters until it went to the ground.
