Twin. Sounds like classic engine loss at takeoff.

I took flying lessons out of that airport in the early ‘90s although I didn’t get my license. At the time it was a very busy general aviation airport. I believe it was the second or third busiest single-runway general aviation airport in the country. Sharp bank on takeoff and crashed nose first into a hanger. Sounds like they lost power on one engine and the pilot couldn’t correct. Unfortunately a fairly common scenario with small twin-engine aircraft. One unusual thing about flying in and out of the airport is that the landing pattern is always on the east side of the airport. Controlled airspace exists immediately to the west and south of the airport because of Love Field and DFW. Prayers for all those onboard. The weather in Dallas is very mild today no appreciable wind to speak of. Certainly, nothing to cause any kind of a problem with a crosswind landing.
