Aeroplane crashed into a school building caused killing of 13 people

A light airplane crashed into a school building Saturday near the Philippine capital after its pilot requested an emergency landing shortly after takeoff, killing at least 13 people, including two children. The plane burst into flames after hitting the school, said Mayor Florencio Bernabe of suburban Paranaque city. No classes were in session when the plane hit, but officials were determining how many on the ground were injured or killed, he said. Firefighters reported that the bodies were charred and that the dead included the pilot and the co-pilot — the only two people on the plane, Bernabe said. Police Senior Inspector Dennis Sirilan said the fire spread rapidly to nearby shanties that surround the school after the twin-engine plane crashed.
