Un avion s'est écrasé dans les Grisons, après avoir heurté une ligne électrique. La presse évoque 2 morts

19 décembre 2010 16:46

Sorry in french :
Un jet s'est écrasé dimanche après-midi à Bever (GR), près de Samedan. L'appareil est en feu, selon la police. Tous les secours disponibles sont mobilisés. Selon le site Suedostschweiz.ch, l'appareil, gêné par de fortes chutes de neige, a heurté une ligne électrique lors de son approche sur l'aérodrome de Samedan. Le journal cite des témoins. Une panne électrique touche actuellement Samedan et Celerina. Ce qui explique que toutes les lignes téléphoniques de l'aéroport de St Moritz-Samedan soient coupées. La police n'a pas encore donné de détails sur d'éventuelles victimes. "20Minuten" évoque 2 morts.

2 Dead in a jet ...

It's a private jet that crashed next to a railway station and 100m away from houses. Two people lost their life.
