Caught on Camera: Small plane crash leaves two dead in Italy's Brescia
Italy Plane Crash: A small plane crashed nose-first on an Italian highway, killing two people, on Tuesday. The deadly Italian plane crash happened on a highway in Brescia, in the northern part of the country. Two people have also been injured, according to reports. On Tuesday, July 22, an ultralight airplane crashed onto a pavement of Corda Molle in a hamlet in Azzano Mella, Brescia, according to a report by People. As per the report, the plane was being piloted by 75-year-old Sergio Ravaglia, who died in the accident. The other victim of the plane crash in Italy has been identified as his partner, 60-year-old Ann Maria De Stefano. A video of the incident has been captured and is doing rounds on social media. The video shows the aircraft coming down with speed before crashing onto the pavement and catching fire. 'After hitting the ground, the aircraft caught fire. Both occupants were killed. The flames also engulfed two passing cars, injuring two people,' local media outlet Viral Press reported. As the Freccia RG ultralight aircraft hit the road head first, a massive fire was seen along with a plume of thick, black smoke. Authorities said they believed that Ravaglia was trying to make an emergency landing on the freeway after losing control of the aircraft, but was unable to regain it, resulting in the crash. The two injured were two motorists on the highway, who luckily survived. The video further shows several vehicles near the plane crash spot, with drivers trying to avoid the massive flames. Emergency services arrived shortly but it was too late as the plane had completely burned due to the fire by then. The crashed aircraft Freccia RG is made of carbon fibre and has a wingspan of about 30 feet. A probe has been launched into the incident, with Italy's National Agency for Flight Safety sending a consultant to Brescia for the investigation. A manslaughter probe has also been opened by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Brescia to determine the plane's maintenance history and mechanical condition.

Two tourists rescued from same active volcano where Brazilian woman fell to her death
Two tourists had to be airlifted to safety in separate falls this week at the same active volcano in Indonesia where a Brazilian tourist recently plunged to her death, according to reports. Dutch tourist Sarah Tamar van Hulten fell while hiking with her friends on Mount Rinjani on Thursday — a day after another tourist also had to be lifted to safety after falling at the same active volcano, according to local reports. Van Hulten was rescued and taken to a hospital by air ambulance for treatment to a neck injury, Indonesian outlet Saibumi reported. Advertisement Sarah Tamar van Hulten was hiking with her friends on Mount Rinjani on Thursday when she reportedly suffered a neck injury and had to be airlifted from the site. ViralPress A day earlier, Benedikt Emmenegger, 46, fell in front of his daughter as they hiked down a steep section of the active volcano. He also needed to be airlifted because he was unable to move due to a serious leg injury, the reports said. Photos of the rescue show Emmenegger lying beneath a gold foil blanket with his daughter and other rescuers kneeling beside him. Advertisement The incidents come less than a month after a 26-year-old Brazilian tourist, Juliana Marins, died after she plunged off a cliff on the same mountain. Marins, a pole-dancing publicist, had been hiking with a group of friends on Mount Rinjani when she slipped and fell about 490 feet down the cliff face on June 21, according to Indonesian authorities. She was found dead of blunt force trauma injuries and internal bleeding 2,000 feet from where she first fell after a frantic, four-day-long search. Advertisement The incident comes just a day after another Swiss tourist suffered an injury on a similar hike and a few weeks after Juliana Marins died on the same mountain. @julianamarins In response to recent accidents, Indonesian officials are rolling out new safety measures on the popular tourist peak, including certified guides, skill requirements for climbers, and marked danger zones, Antara reported. The condition of Hulten or Emmenegger is not yet known.
