According to reports, the Beechcraft B200 was heading to Lelystad, Netherlands, and had taken off from the London Southend Airport before going down just seconds later.
The crash resulted in a massive fireball followed by a cloud of thick, black smoke.
Emergency services were quickly deployed, with Essex Police and the East of England Ambulance Service responding promptly.
