A small, single-engine plane crashed into a vacant two-story office building in a Milan suburb, killing all eight people aboard, Italian authorities say. The private plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Milan’s Linate Airport.
Investigators opened a probe into what caused the private plane to crash shortly after takeoff from Milan’s Linate Airport en route to Olbia Airport on the Italian island of Sardinia. A thick column of dark smoke rose from the crash site and was visible for kilometers. Several parked cars nearby went up in flames.
Milan Prosecutor Tiziana Siciliano told reporters at the scene that the plane was proceeding on its flight until “a certain point, then an anomaly appeared on the radar screen and it plunged,” striking the building’s roof. The prosecutor said the plane didn’t send out any alarm. It was too early to cite any possible cause for the crash, Siciliano said, adding that the flight recorder has been retrieved.
The reports said the aircraft had flown from Bucharest, Romania, to Milan on Sept. 30 with no apparent problem.
