Plane crash kills 7
A small army plane slammed into an apartment building in an upscale neighborhood of Ecuador's mountainous capital on Thursday, killing five people aboard the aircraft and two more on the ground.
The plane grazed a house before plowing into the 4-storey building.
Quito fire chief Atahualpa Sanchez said emergency crews recovered the victims' badly burned bodies.
