Plane crashes into house in Germany - killing two including the pilot
A plane has crashed into a house in western Germany, killing two people including the pilot, according to local police. The tragedy happened after the aircraft struck the terrace of a residential building in the town of Korschenbroich on Saturday. The plane crashed at around 12.30 pm (10.30 GMT) and caused the house to catch fire, police said. Dramatic images show firefighters hosing down the smoldering building after the flames were extinguished. The mangled remains of the aircraft could be seen lying on the ground beside a huge hole in the wall. Officers reportedly told German news agency dpa that one of the two people killed was the 71-year-old pilot. The pilot was from Düsseldorf and appeared to have been sitting alone in the aircraft, they added. It is unknown whether the other person had been a passenger on the plane or had been on the ground. Firefighters responded in numbers with the local control center saying that around 50 personnel had been deployed. They managed to put out the flames quickly. The cause of the crash has yet to be established. Korschenbroich is located near the city of Mönchengladbach and is not far from the Dutch border. It comes after in March a plane burst into a fireball after crashing into a Minnesota home, killing everyone onboard and leaving a raging inferno behind. The single-engine aircraft plummeted from the sky in a quiet residential neighborhood of Brooklyn Park around 12:30pm on Saturday, according to Fox 9. The entire home erupted into flames, leaving billows of black smoke rising in the air, causing first responders to evacuate the area. There were no survivors on the plane, the fire chief said at a press conference. It was not clear how many people were aboard. Luckily, no one was inside the home at the time of the crash. The plane was a SOCATA TBM7, a single-engine business aircraft. It departed from Des Moines International Airport and was headed for Minneapolis, according to the outlet. Multiple nearby residents were seen standing outside the home watching as a violent fire engulfed the residence, video taken by Mike Deyo showed. 'Looks like a plane crash in Brooklyn Park,' he can be heard saying as he filmed.

Indonesia: Several killed in quarry collapse
West Java: A rock collapse at a limestone quarry in Indonesia on Friday resulted in the deaths of at least eight people, with another 10 missing, according to police. The incident took place in the city of Cirebon in West Java province at around 9:30 a.m. local time (0230 GMT). "We are now focusing on evacuating victims. Until now, eight people have been found dead, and 12 others were injured and have been taken to hospitals," a local police chief told AFP. Television footage showed excavators at the site moving large rocks while rescuers continued to look under debris for survivors. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said that the company operating the mine had been doing so illegally but that safety standards had been lacking. He said he had ordered the closure of the mine. "I decided to shut down the pit permanently, not just this pit but also other pits nearby," Dedi told Metro TV. A similar incident happened at the same mine in February, although no casualties were reported at the time. Mining accidents are common in Indonesia with safety protocols often being ignored. Last July, at least 23 people were killed and another 35 were reported missing after a landslide hit a remote village close to an illegal gold mine on the island of Sulawesi.
