Chaotic Scene Recalled in Wake of Skydiving Plane Crash in New Jersey ...

On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, a skydiving aircraft carrying 15 individuals experienced an accident near the runway area of Cross Keys Airport in Williamstown, New Jersey.
The crash occurred after the pilot encountered mechanical issues at about 3,000 feet and attempted an emergency landing that extended beyond the runway into a wooded area.
Emergency crews responded swiftly, rescuing most victims who were found crawling out of the wreckage, and hospital officials reported 14 injured, with three in critical condition.
The police chief of Monroe Township characterized the situation as highly disordered and commended the effective teamwork during the response, while Skydive Cross Keys confirmed that the aircraft had current maintenance inspections and the pilot had substantial experience.
Federal agencies including the FAA and NTSB are investigating the crash, which delayed the upcoming 4th of July skydiving event as the airport reopened Thursday after the incident.
