1. Pilot Killed in a Plane Crash
A small plane crashed into a house Sunday afternoon, killing the pilot and
destroying half of the home. The family inside the house escaped without injury.
The single-engine airplane crashed about 5:30 p.m. The pilot, the only one in the
plane, was trying to make an emergency landing at the airport.
They found the pilot's body on the bed in the master bedroom. The plane crashed
into one end of the house, where the three bedrooms were. The Carols, who own
the house, were all at home eating dinner.
They immediately called 911 when they discovered the cause of the thunderous
sound. The family was lucky because there was no fire. Authorities suspect that a
lack of fuel contributed to the crash. Mr. Carol said that they might have to move
out until they can get the house repaired. The police will release the pilot's name
after notifying his next of kin.
