Flight number may be incorrect.

Unknown how many souls onboard.

This is a small twin engine commuter flight. Reports indicate it was heading to Albany, NY and reported an emergency and was attempting to return to the airport.

This appears to be a classic example of how early news reports can be wildly incorrect. We've already got three VERY different reports on the number of people on board, at least two differing reports as to where it was heading to or from, and two different reasons it was in the air.

(Sidenote: These are the sorts of things on which conspiracy theorists like to base their looney tune ideas ... they cry out "Immediate news reports said X, but then you NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT AGAIN!!" Yeah, because it turned out to be WRONG, nutbags.)
