TOTAL DEVASTATION3 Missing, Including 2 Kids, In Conn. Small Plane Crash
Aug 9th 2013, 19:35

EAST HAVEN, Conn. –  A small plane has crashed near an airport in Connecticut and three people are missing, including two children inside a home that caught fire, authorities said Friday.

East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo said the missing include the pilot of the plane and two children in the house, ages 1 and 13. The city's fire chief, Douglas Jackson, said officials "presume there is going to be a very bad outcome."

The Federal Aviation Administration says the multi-engine propeller-driven aircraft flew out of Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and crashed as it approached the Tweed New Haven Airport at 11:25 a.m. Friday.

Officials say two homes caught fire in the crash.

David Esposito said he heard a woman screaming that her children were inside the burning home. He said he went inside with the woman but had to leave because of the fire.

Frank Diglio, 55, told the Hartford Courant that he was driving nearby and pulled over when he saw people screaming and crying. Diglio said he and another man tried digging through the room to find the children, but were forced to leave after 10 minutes when the fire at the house became intense.

"The plane was burning slow and then it started really burning," he told the newspaper. "The fire engines arrived in like 10 minutes. They came real quick and they told us all to move. The house got really out of control."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
