Pilot killed as U.S. small plane crashes into house
WASHINGTON. April 18. KAZINFORM A small plane crashed in a home in Florida after taking off from an airport on Friday, killing the pilot, according to a local TV report; Kazinform refers to Xinhua.

The report by the WPLG TV said that the pilot, who was tentatively identified as 80-year-old Cecil Alexander Murray, died when the twin-engine Cessna 421-B he was flying crashed into a house in the morning east of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.
A local county sheriff Al Lamberti told the TV that the plane took off from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport en route to Fernandina Beach, where the pilot would try to sell it.
Before the crash, the pilot radioed the air traffic control tower and said that he had to return due to mechanical difficulties and engine problems, he said.
However, the plane lost altitude on its way back to the airport, and hit a power line and a tree before it crashed into the house, which burst into flames immediately, he added; Kazinform cites Xinhua.
