Can a plane be "down" if it was never up?

It's my understanding that it was up and returning to the field after some kind of failure.

I think the original story (I read it last night) said the plane took off and returned to the fuel after an issue. The story now states...

Officials with the regional office of the Federal Aviation Administration reported that Cobalt Air 727, a Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, ran off the airport’s Runway 1 on departure.

According to ASN, it ran off taxiway F into a ditch and was damaged "beyond repair."
