Three dead as light plane crashes in Tokyo suburb
26 June 2015

Three people were killed and five others injured when a small private aircraft crashed into homes in the western Tokyo suburb of Chofu on Sunday, police said.

Aerial images showed a scene of devastation after a fire ripped through adjacent buildings. Three of the plane’s occupants survived.

The single-engine Piper PA-46 propeller aircraft came down in a residential neighborhood at around 11 a.m., shortly after it took off from nearby Chofu Airfield. A 36-year-old pilot was at the controls and the plane was carrying four passengers.

Nippon Aerotech Co., a firm that serviced the plane, identified the pilot as Taishi Kawamura. The identities of the other victims remained unconfirmed on Sunday evening.

The Tokyo Fire Department reported that the fire damaged or destroyed nine houses and two cars.

Two men aboard the plane and a woman in one of the houses were killed, while three other men from the aircraft and two other women on the ground sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital, police said
