A small plane crashed into a building in northern Massachusetts on Friday and caused an unknown number of casualties, officials said.
Massachusetts State Police Lt. Ronald Seberg said the plane crashed shortly after 9:30 a.m. EST, and that the building was on fire. The cause of the crash was not immediately known, but Seberg said the plane may have crashed while approaching a local airport.
The Leominster Fire Department said several ambulances were at the scene of the crash.

i found some:
"A small jet crashed into an industrial building in Leominster, igniting a huge fireball.
Leominster deputy fire chief William Ashton told WHDH TV that six people were on the plane, at least two of whom had be extricated.
There was no word on their conditions or any injuries in the building.
Ashton said the plane was scheduled to land at an airfield in Fitchburg 9:30 am.
Pam Costa, a receptionist at a nearby company, said the plane flew over so low that people joked it was going to land on the floor.
Moments later, she said she looked out the window in time to see fire fill the skies.
Witnesses said the plane was hanging out a 50-foot hole in the side of the building at 56 Nashua Street."

I think this was simply pilot error or mechanical. I understand how you feel deb, when the AIBUS 320 crashed in New York after September 11th everyone thought it was an act of terrorism. We are all a little jumpy but hopefully our government is doing more behind the scenes than we know to keep us safe.the_master wrote:yea, i guess it's bad luck, but we've been having bad luck here for quite some time now.
Example Cubans now are trying to hijack baots and planes to get here. That could mean our waterways are too heavily patroled.
