At least 10 people were killed after a small aircraft crashed at an airport in Dallas, Texas on Sunday.
According to Mary Rosenbleeth, the spokeswoman for the city of Addison, there were no survivors of the twin-engine plane crash at the Addison Municipal Airport, a northern suburb of Dallas.
The twin-engine small plane had just taken off when it crashed into a hangar at the airport, about 25 km north of downtown Dallas, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesperson Lynn Lunsford said. The ensuing fire destroyed the aircraft.
