Plane Crash (East Haven, CT) 8/9/13

EAST HAVEN, CT – At approximately 11:20am on August 9, 2013, the East Haven Fire Department was dispatched to a plane crash into two homes at 64 and 68 Charter Oak Ave. First arriving units found that a multi-engine plane, a Turbo Commander 690B, had crashed into the rear of two houses and had heavy fire showing. A quick aggressive interior search proved difficult due to the fire conditions as well as major structural damage to the homes. The plane had departed from Teterboro, New Jersey, and crashed while approaching Tweed-New Haven Airport. Four people are confirmed dead from this incident, including former Microsoft executive Bill Hennigsgaard and his son, as well as two children from one of the damages homes. New Haven and Branford Fire Departments also responded to the crash while investigators from the FAA and NTSB are working on the cause. ** ** VIDEO CAN BE SEEN ON YOUTUBE HERE ** http://youtu.be/tY7mG4dEGiA
