Three missing in Connecticut as plane crashes into house 9 August 2013 Last updated at 19:10 Three people, including two children, are missing after a small plane crashed into a house near an airport in the US state of Connecticut, officials say. The mayor of East Haven said the children aged one and 13, and a person on board the plane are unaccounted for. Two homes caught fire in the crash. One witness said a woman was screaming that her children were trapped inside. The plane took off from Teterboro Airport near Hackensack, New Jersey and crashed near a New Haven airport. The propeller plane, a Rockwell International Turbo Commander 690B, is believed to have crashed about 11:25 local time (16:45 BST) as it approached Tweed airport in rainy weather. Tweed's airport manager said the pilot had been speaking to air traffic control but did not issue any distress calls. "All we know is that it missed the approach and continued on," said Lori Hoffman-Soares. There were no distress calls as far as we know. According to local news reports, one of the houses was vacant and the other was the home of a mother with two children. East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo described a scene of "total devastation," according to NBC News. Fire Chief Douglas Jackson said: "We haven't recovered anybody at this point and we presume there is going to be a very bad outcome." Several emergency crews have been dispatched to the scene.
