    KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - A twin-engine turboprop commuter plane crashed in the woods a few miles short of the airport where it was preparing to land, killing at least eight people but leaving five others missing and two known survivors with only broken bones.


    Emergency crews searched woods and open fields early Wednesday for any sign of those missing from Tuesday's crash of the American Airlines-affiliated Corporate Airlines plane.


    "We always have hope that there's going to be other survivors," Sgt. Brent Bernhardt of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said at a pre-dawn news conference. "We had officers out there all night. I'm confident that they did a good search, but I can tell you the area is heavy brush, it's hard to see through. When the daylight arrives, it's going to help us out tremendously."
