The accident took place in the Canadian Northwest Territories, Canadian authorities said.
The Canadian Transportation Safety Board and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed multiple fatalities in Tuesday's crash. The jet belonged to the regional carrier "Northwestern Air" and came down only about 500 meters from the end of the runway at the Fort Smith Regional Airport.

Canadian authorities said Friday they would launch an investigation into the loss this week of the Titan submersible along with five people onboard during a dive to the Titanic wreck.

The Canadian-flagged Polar Prince cargo vessel towed the Titan out to sea last weekend but lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes after the submersible launched into the ocean depths.
