The plane was operated by NetJets, a company owned by Warren Buffett\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway that lets people buy part ownership in private jets. NetJets said in a statement that it was cooperating with authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The crash occurred after its pilots reported mechanical problems while requesting an emergency landing at a nearby airport. The fuselage came to rest across a concrete barrier, while its tail broke off and fell to a lower section of roadway.<\/p>\n<p>One person was killed: Joshua Baer, a leader in Texas\u2019 technology and startup sectors. Three teenage passengers and two pilots survived, as did a person in a truck struck by the plane as it crashed.
