Six people including two American missionaries were killed when a private airplane crashed southwest of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince

The aircraft had taken off from the city's airport at 6:57 pm on Friday and should have arrived at Jacmel, on Haiti's southern coast, around an hour later, according to the National Civil Aviation Office .Gutenberg Destin, the coordinator of civil protection for Haiti's Ouest Department, confirmed to AFP that all six people on board had perished.

They were part of a larger group making the trip in two planes, with Hostelter's wife and children on the first flight. "When the second plane didn't show up, they were very concerned and soon heard that the plane had gone down somewhere near Leogane," Gospel to Haiti said."A search team was formed and sent out and they located the plane early this morning and confirmed that all six people were killed, including Trent and John."

Hostetler and his wife worked for the missionary organization, while Miller was volunteering for a short period, according to GoFundMe pages opened to support of their families. With heavily armed gangs controlling the main land route from Port-au-Prince to the southern half of Haiti, charter flights to Jacmel have become increasingly popular -- among the tiny number of Haitians able to afford them.
