Seven people were on the plane

The Bates County Sheriff's Office clarified that the pilot helped the six passengers parachute off the plane before escaping.

WDAF-TV reported that the people aboard the Cessna U206C plane were skydivers. It's currently unclear what caused the incident.

Witness Rodney Rom described the plane as having "major unpreparable damage," with "not many parts left to be salvaged," according to the report.

The skydivers "knew what to do, all of them got out okay and the only loss was the plane," Rom added.

The airport manager, Chris Hall, told the outlet that one of the skydiver's parachutes abruptly deployed during operations, impacting the plane.

The airplane was transported to another facility amid the ongoing investigation, per the report.
