Six bodies have been recovered from the wreckage of a plane linked to a Houston law firm five days after it crashed Sunday in Maine, officials said Friday.

In a one-paragraph update, the Maine Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said that two of the bodies have been identified, but that their names would not be immediately released. The office said it was continuing efforts to ID the other bodies.

On Sunday night, a Bombardier Challenger 600 jet linked to Houston-based law firm Arnold and Itkin crashed on the runway at Bangor International Airport as it was trying to take off, according to reports. The plane flipped over and caught fire, according to the FAA.

The cause of the crash has not been announced, but the attempted takeoff came amid a snowstorm that blanketed much of the United States over the weekend.

The removal of the bodies came a day after the aircraft was moved to a secure location, allowing the airport to be reopened.

An initial report about the crash is expected in February from the National Transportation Safety Board, but a final report could take up to two years to complete, officials said.

UPDATED Jan. 30: This story has been changed to remove information about the identity of potential victims that the Chronicle hasn’t independently verified.
