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

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.
"Thank you to Butler Fire, Adrian Fire, Butler Police and Bates County EMS for your response and assistance at the scene," the sheriff's office said.
