The
Beechcraft BE36 aircraft crashed into the house at about 5:45 p.m.
Sunday, said Jim Peters of the Federal Aviation Administration. It had
taken off from Lancaster Airport in Pennsylvania and was headed to
Norwood Memorial Airport in Massachusetts.
Fire crews extinguished
the blaze nearly three hours after the crash in Plainville, about 30
miles southwest of Boston, said Massachusetts State Police spokesman
Dave Procopio. He said the residents escaped and two adults and a
juvenile in the plane were killed.
The
plane wound up behind the two-story colonial, where a section of the
tail and a charred wing rested on a hillside in the yard.
Neighbors told the Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/1LDipfe ) that a family of four lived in the home.
Others reported hearing something amiss as the plane flew over the neighborhood.
Mike
Brown tells The Sun Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1HqocUB ) he was outside
barbecuing when he heard the plane, looked up and saw it start to bank.
He said the engine sounded like it was sputtering and then heard a crash
and saw smoke.
The NTSB is expected to arrive at the crash site Monday.
The identities of the dead won't be released until the NTSB has notified their families, Peters said.
