A corporate King Air carrying eight passengers took off from Hilton Head Island for Jackson, Mississippi, but ran a very long takeoff roll and struck trees about 1,200 feet after liftoff. The aircraft came to rest in the woods and a fire broke out behind it, and six people were killed while three survivors escaped through an opening in the fuselage. Records also suggest the aircraft was overweight.
