Four die as jetliner crashes into airport building
At least four people are feared dead after an airliner crashed into a building at Milan’s Linate airport today, apparently after being cut off on the runway by a smaller aircraft.
Four people were believed killed and 100 injured. It wasn’t clear if the reported dead were on board the SAS airliner, which seated 104 passengers, or the smaller Cessna.
SAS - Scandinavian Airlines System - spokeswoman Mimmi Hildebrandt said the aircraft, Flight 686, had been scheduled to take off at for Copenhagen.
Fire crews were at the scene extinguishing the fire.
Linate is Milan’s second airport, after its main hub at Malpensa.
