A private jet crashed into an empty office building in Milan on Sunday, killing all eight on board.
The aircraft hit the building in the indutrial suburb of San Donato Milanese, close to the city's Linate airport.
According to the LaPresse news agency, two crew members and six passasiers, including a boy, died in the crash.
