BREAKING: Five feared dead after aircraft PLUMMETS into Melbourne shopping centre
FIVE people are feared to be dead after an aircraft crashed into a major shopping outlet in Melbourne, causing a massive explosion.

Plumes of smoke billowed into the air after the carrier thundered into Direct Factory Outlet, a centre close to Melbourne's Essendon Airport in Australia.

Victoria Police reported the plane which was carrying five people on board crashed around 9am local time, although the store which was due to open at 10 am, was reportedly not filled with people.

This is sad.   A friend of mine said he lives only 4 miles from where it happened.

Well I can only hope that maybe it was really really quick!   I don't wish fire on anything, frozen, nailed up no problem but being burned NO WAY!

All people on the ground have been accounted for with no injuries.
