At least seven people were killed when a World War II bomber carrying 13 passengers and crew crashed at an airport in the northeastern US state of Connecticut Wednesday, local media reported.
The
Boeing B-17 aircraft, which the US Air Force deployed against
Germany and
Japan, crashed at Bradley International Airport while trying to land around 10:00 am (1400 GMT).
Ten passengers and three crew were on the aircraft, which was operated by the Collings Foundation, a group catering to aviation buffs who pay to experience vintage planes, officials said.
