Piloting the aircraft were 2 crewmembers, who survived the crash. The takeoff was attempted from a 950-foot private airstrip across from the lodge instead of the more-appropriate 1,800-foot gravel strip one mile south. A video of the crash shows the aircraft struggling for altitude as its right wing hits the ground, followed by the plane's wing hitting a power pole, snagging its recently decommissioned power line, spinning clockwise and impacting trees, followed by a fire.
