Five die as plane crashes into supermarket
Five people died when a Swiss-registered light aircraft crashed into a supermarket warehouse in the Lisbon suburbs on Monday, rescue services said.
The fatalities comprised the pilot and all three passengers — a Swiss and three French nationals — who were aboard the aircraft, plus a man who was at the warehouse at the time, they said in a statement.
Three other people were slightly injured.
The warehouse is located about a kilometre (half a mile) from an aerodrome at Tires, in the district of Cascais.
The twin-engine Piper PA-31 plane had just taken off on a flight to the southern French city of Marseille when it crashed, hitting a truck parked at the warehouse.
About 90 firefighters mobilised to fight a blaze, which was quickly put out. A neighbouring house was also damaged.
