I think it was the Nine-O-Nine (https://www.airplanesofthepast.com/b17-flying-fortress-4483575-nine-o-nine.htm).
Wow not good. There doesn't seem to be a reason why it crashed but I didn't read the whole article.
Very sad. I hope everyone is ok.
News is now reporting there are multiple fatalities (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/02/us/connecticut-plane-crash-trnd/index.html). :(
Yeah, there are at least two confirmed dead. :(
Oh dear. :'(

The pilot requested a return to land shortly after takeoff, worrying about engine #4. Ironically, the crash happened from too much speed (one way or another) at the end of the runway, into a de-icing system. Looks like the airframe rammed square into one of the de-icing tanks, which explains why the whole thing fireballed.
Prayers to all involved. I will be very interested to hear what happened.

Unfortunately, at least 7 are reported as being dead.
