4 Killed When Small Planes Collide in Air

Two small planes collided over a residential community in southeast Florida, near Boca Raton, killing all four people aboard, police said. Witnesses saw a red fireball and then a thick cloud of black smoke from the crash, which scattered debris over nearly a mile in Boca Raton. Part of the wreckage crashed into a condominium building, but the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said there were no injuries or deaths on the ground. The county fire rescue service said the crash involved a 12-year-old Lear 55 jet and a smaller experimental plane. Three people were on the Learjet and one man was aboard the other plane.
