Plane crashes into B.C. building
19/10/2007 8:13:58 PM A small plane has crashed into a building in British Columbia. CTV's Todd Battis told CTV Newsnet that the crash occurred at 4:10 p.m. local time in Richmond, just outside of Vancouver. CTV News in Vancouver has shown a gaping hole in a condominium building. There is no smoke coming from the building, and there are no signs of the plane, itself.RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basri told CTV News in Vancouver that the plane hit the ninth floor of the building's north side. Basra said police believe there were two people in the plane, but they have not confirmed that. They are also unable to confirm the cause of the crash.
There is word that the plane is a Piper Seneca, a light aluminum aircraft capable of carrying six to eight passengers. The plane was logged to go the Fraser Valley community of Pitt Meadows.
Basra said police are calling on people to stay out of the area. CTV News in Vancouver, which is live on location in the area, has shown a small crowd gathering outside of the building, watching in disbief.
Witnesses have claimed the plane circled the building just before the crash. There is no word on injuries, but fire, police, and ambulance crews are on the scene.
Aaron Kennington, a pilot who witnesses the crash, said the aircraft took off much lower than it should have, before banking right. Kennington said the pilot could have lost control of the plane.
Another witness told CTV News in Vancouver that the plane is completely inside the building.

You think the building will fall down now? Is this another one of the USA's idea of a terrorist attack (on a smaller scale, of course).
But seriously, sounds like a tragic accident. If I had turned on the TV or radio, I might have heard earlier, but I had to read about this on JWD, the fast-breakingnews forum!
Love to all
