PRIVATE JET WENT INTO THE HOUSE

Five killed in private jet crash
London (PTI): A private jet has crashed into a housing estate in Farnborough, Kent, south of London, killing all the five persons on board.
The accident occurred on Sunday afternoon when the Cessna Citation one jet, which was en route from nearby Biggin Hill airfield to France, crashed into a house and burst into flames destroying a garage.
Two pilots and three passengers, one of whom was David Leslie, former Touring Car Champion, were killed.
The house was vacant at the time of the accident, as the occupants had gone on holiday.
Police said they have found no survivors amid the flaming wreckage.
Noone on the ground was badly injured, but two people were treated for shock, they said, adding the plane got into difficulties soon after it took off from Biggin Hill.
Andrew Walters, chairman of Biggin Hill Airport, said the three passengers were on a business trip to France. The pilot had made an emergency call and asked for permission to land again immediately after the plane took off.
"Unfortunately it crashed before reaching the airport," Walters said.
Accident inspectors were rushed to the scene while eight fire engines and 40 firefighters worked to tackle the blaze.
Bodies in the wreckage have not yet been recovered. Work at the crash site has been suspended for the night and will resume today, police said.
