Swiss police confirm 20 dead in WWII vintage plane crash

Twenty people died after a vintage World War II aircraft crashed into a Swiss mountainside, police say.

“The police have the sad certainty that the 20 people aboard perished,” police spokeswoman Anita Senti tells a news conference.

The Junker JU52 HB-HOT aircraft, built in Germany in 1939 and now a collectors’ item, crashed into the Piz Segnas mountain in the east of the country yesterday.
