Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board sorted through the wreckage left by a Dallas Cowboys’ Lear jet Monday. The crash occurred on the runway at the airport in Troy when the plane, as it was landing, struck two deer on the runway.

The cockpit of the Lear Model 60 was destroyed when rescue workers and volunteer hooked a Chrevolet Tahoe up to chains and ripped it apart in an attempt to save one of the two members of the flight team. Both the pilot and co-pilot were injured, and at the time of the crash, the aircraft had no passengers.

Debris from the jet littered an access road at Troy Municipal Airport and the area immediately surrounding it. The runway, which is situated to the right of this picture, was left behind as the jet spun out of control. Early reports indicate deer may have been contributing factors in the crash.
