Plane Crashes Into Apartments, Killing 3

Compiled From Wire Services

A light plane trying to land in fog slammed into an apartment building as residents were waking for work Monday, killing the two people in the aircraft and a woman in her bed.

Fire swept through the four-unit building, forcing eight to 10 people into the streets, some in towels and blankets. One firefighter was injured.

Sharan Ernst, 43, was still asleep when the plane hit about 6:35 a.m.
