HOUSTON—A Boeing 767 cargo jetliner heading to Houston with three people aboard disintegrated after crashing Saturday, Feb. 23, into a bay east of the city, according to a Texas sheriff.

Witnesses told emergency personnel that the twin-engine plane “went in nose first,” leaving a debris field three-quarters of a mile long in Trinity Bay, Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said.
