LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) _ A small jet crashed Friday into a one-story industrial building, setting the building afire, authorities said.
Deputy Police Chief William Ashton told WHDH television that six people were on board and two had been pulled out of the wreckage. The rescue effort was continuing, he said. He had no detail on the condition of the two or whether any fatalities had been confirmed.
``I only know that the ambulance has brought them (the two) to the hospital and returned to the scene,'' he said.
A witness said rescue workers were cutting into the fuselage.
The plane went down at about 9:30 a.m. in this town about 35 miles north and west of Boston.
Witnesses said it crash into the side of a single-story sheet metal shop called D.E. Corp. The back part of the plane was sticking out of the building and appeared largely intact.
Kevin Bailey, a manager at a nearby automotive chemical manufacturing facility, said he heard the plane fly overhead over the buzz of their own machines.
``It sounded like the plane was right on top of our building,'' Bailey said.
``The smoke is just incredible. They're cutting into the fuselage of the plane; you can hear the saws right now,'' Bailey said Friday morning.
