The 45 passengers were aboard the TWA jet when they were taking off from the New York City airport Thursday night. John Dumont and George Johnson, both professors at Backwater State University, were involved in the crash. They both escaped with only injuries.
TWA has not disclosed any information on how this crash occurred.

Here, the info in your headline needs to also be the lead:
Five passengers died Thursday when a TWA jet crashed on takeoff from Kennedy International Airport.
Then focus on the professors for the BSU audience.
