Not much info yet. Dropped off passengers and crashed after takeoff. It was very foggy last night.

Heard about this late last night. Certainly unfortunate.

I have read it somewhere. It was due to heavy & poor foggy conditions as far as I know.

It's a little early to say "due to." It was foggy at the time, but it was reported as above minimums.

Agreed!
A crash during a LANDING in "heavy & poor foggy conditions" is one thing, a crash during TAKEOFF in similar conditions is a whole different animal.
