A plane crashed into a tall building in Beijing
A small plane crashed into one of the tallest skyscrapers in Beijing. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
As a result of the incident, debris from the building was scattered across the streets. Foreign mass media are reporting on this.
It is reported that the incident occurred on Friday around local time. A single-engine, two-seater B-12PP light aircraft manufactured in China crashed into the 109-story CITIC Tower, the tallest building in Beijing.
Videos circulating on social networks show several broken windows in the building, the tail section of the plane on the ground, and debris scattered around. Additionally, all people were immediately evacuated due to thick smoke emanating from the building.
According to preliminary information, the plane took off from Shifosi Airport approximately 30 minutes before the incident and was planned to return to the same airport. However, for certain reasons, it deviated from the designated route.
The flight tracking system lost the aircraft's signal near Beijing's East Fifth Ring Road. Following the incident, several roads leading to the skyscraper were temporarily closed.
Witnesses say that the police and emergency services immediately took control of the area. It is also reported that law enforcement agencies imposed restrictions on people at the scene taking photos and videos, and some videos posted on social networks were deleted within a short time.
Currently, an official investigation is underway to determine why the plane deviated from its designated route and what caused the incident.
