Two children and a pilot are missing after a turboprop airplane crashed into at least one house in the southern Connecticut town of East Haven today, officials told reporters.
The children, ages 1 and 13, were in the house when the plane hit it shortly before 11:30 a.m, East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. said. The children's mother also was at the home but survived, he said.
"It's ... total devastation in the back of the home," Maturo said.
The multiengine Rockwell International Turbo Commander 690B crashed while approaching the Tweed New Haven Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
