At least two people are dead and another is fighting for their life after a plane crashed into a building while trying to land in South Australia. Nine others were injured in the crash, including two in serious condition. The impact triggered a large fire, sending thick black smoke billowing into the air. Injuries include burns and smoke inhalation. The light aircraft crashed into a Flight Training Adelaide hangar at Parafield Airport in Adelaide’s north shortly after 2.10 p.m. on Wednesday. The plane struck the roof while landing, igniting aviation fuel and damaging the hangar’s sprinkler system. Emergency services, including police, fire crews, and paramedics, rushed to the scene as a large blaze erupted. Authorities confirmed the aircraft was being used for training, but said it was not yet known whether the pilot was a student. Parafield Airport was closed to all traffic as firefighting crews extinguished the blaze. “(This is a) tragic situation for both the pilot and the passenger, also for the local Parafield community,” Chief Inspector Andrew McCracken said. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has launched an investigation, deploying specialists to examine wreckage and recover evidence.
