Plane crashes on house, kills six

A small plane crashed into a house bordering a golf course in suburban Austin, Texas, and burst into flames, killing the six people aboard. Three people inside the luxury two-story home escaped unharmed.

Two children – including one who was just 18 months old – their parents, a pilot and another person were killed after the twin-engine plane refuelled and took off yesterday from Lakeway Airpark just before noon, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesman John Clabes said.
