Small plane crashes into home in St. Louis, two killed

A small plane has crashed into a house as it attempted to land at the St. Louis Downtown Airport but due to heavy fog it crashed about five miles away from the runway.

On Sunday evening, a small plane attempting to land at the St. Louis Downtown Airport in heavy fog crashed five miles away from the runway into a house that is on a small grass airstrip, according to St. Louis Today. No one in the house or in the area was killed or injured but two passengers on the plane died.
The plane crashed into a hangar attached to the house, which is owned by aviation buffs, where two other planes and an antique car were parked. A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was flying from Florida to St. Louis and added that two people were on board the plane.
Other officials confirmed that there were no survivors in the crash, while neighbors in the immediate vicinity did not see an airplane but heard noise from the aircraft.
The Washington Post reports that 75 firefighters are at the scene to contain the fire, which one neighbor “saw the fire and heard more explosions, and with each explosion the fire went higher.”
