Plane Hits Hangar, Killing 4 People
A twin-engine plane crashed Tuesday into a hangar at the Carson City airport, in a deadly fireball that killed all four people on board.
The crash occurred behind a fire station, and crews responded within 90 seconds. Nonetheless, there was no possibility of rescue because of the intense heat, said Stacey Giomi of the Carson City Fire Department.
The victims, tentatively identified as two men and two women, were taken to the coroner’s office in Reno.
The fire destroyed the plane, the hangar and another plane parked inside the structure.
