Montana plane crash kills 14

Per The New York Times, a private jet carrying 14 people including seven children under the age of nine crashed in a cemetery just outside an airport in Butte, Montana on Sunday. The three families on board were traveling to Big Sky, Mont. for a ski vacation at the Yellowstone Club. The cause is still unknown but overloading and ice are being considered as potential factors.
