20 KILLED AS WORLD WAR II VINTAGE PLANE CRASHES

As many as 20 people are feared dead after a vintage World War II aircraft crashed into a Swiss mountainside, reports AFP.
 

The Junker JU52 HB-HOT aircraft, built in Germany in 1939 and now a collectors item, belongs to JU-Air, a company with links to the Swiss air force, media reports say.

The Junker plane, carrying 17 passengers and three crew, crashed into the Piz Segnas mountain in the east of the country on Saturday, at an altitude of around 2,500 metres (8,200 feet).
