Well actually it was about a half mile away, but still! :/
Jefferson City (Missouri), Oct. 15 (AP): A small jet with no passengers went down in a residential area in this central Missouri city, damaging a building, authorities said. Only the pilot and co-pilot were aboard the CRJ2, a two-engine regional jet that could seat up to 50 people, when it crashed yesterday in Jefferson City, police Capt. Michael Smith, said. There was no immediate information about injuries, either to anyone in the plane or on the ground in the neighbourhood a few kilometers east of downtown. The plane damaged a building, but Smith said today that the structure was not believed to be a house. "As of yet, we have recovered no bodies," Smith said. Neither major hospital in the city reported receiving victims from the crash.
Smith said the plane was apparently experiencing engine problems when it went down last night. The plane was operated by Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines, a regional carrier affiliated with Northwest Airlines, Northwest spokesman Kurt Ebenhouch said. |
