A small twin-engine passenger plane
crashed in Texas in the United States on Sunday, killing 10 people, officials
said.
"The Dallas County Medical Examiner has confirmed 10
fatalities and no survivors," a spokeswoman for the town of Addison, Texas
told AFP.
The National Transportation Safety Board tweeted that it had
dispatched a team to Addison to investigate the crash of a King Air 350 -- a
twin-engine turboprop passenger plane.
It did not provide further details on the crash or its cause
Video broadcast by US media showed a massive column of black
smoke pouring out of a building at the airport, as firefighters directed
streams of water toward the blaze.
CNN reported that the aircraft was a private plane and that
it crashed into a hanger at a local airport.
CBS News quoted sources as saying the aircraft lost an
engine on takeoff and veered into the hanger.
