Man (50) and girl (8) killed as small plane crashes on Portugal beach

A light plane was forced to make an emergency landing on a packed beach near Lisbon, killing a man and an eight-year-old girl who were sunbathing, authorities said.

Hundreds of sunbathers were on the beach at Caparica, 30kms south of Lisbon, and witnesses said some sunbathers ran into the sea to avoid the plane.
