One person was killed and two were injured when a small plane crashed into a residential tower shortly after taking off from Vancouver International Airport.
The twin engine Piper Seneca hit the ninth floor of the 15-storey building in Richmond, where the airport is located, but it did not cause a fire.
The male pilot of the plane was killed, while two people in the building were hurt -- one seriously, the other suffering minor injuries.
The plane appears to have hit the building at an angle, with damage spread between the eighth and ninth floors.
