A teenage glider pilot died on Saturday after crashing into a house in Lower Saxony. Four more people died on Sunday when their single-engine plane crashed and caught on fire in Bavaria.

The 17-year-old girl had started from a glider airfield near Osnabrück with no problems, but then came down in Quakenbrück, clipping several houses before smashing into one seemingly head-on.

No-one on the ground was hurt, but the pilot was killed. A police officer told Die Welt newspaper, “A colleague saw the crash himself. The plane looked to be flying very low, and made irregular movements.”

Four more people died when their single-engine plane crashed on Sunday morning near Coburg, Bavaria. A police spokeswoman said the pilot was a 31-year-old woman and that her passengers were another 31-year-old woman and two men aged 28 and 44.

The plane started from the airfield in Steinrücken, but then crashed into woodland just 500 metres or so from the runway and caught fire.

Vier Wohnhäuser beschädigt

Nach Polizeiangaben war die 17-Jährige auf dem Segelflugplatz Quakenbrück gestartet. Aus noch ungeklärter Ursache flog sie - vermutlich beim Landeanflug - um 19.15 Uhr in die Front eines Reihenhauses im Stadtteil Neustadt. Laut Polizei wurden insgesamt vier Häuser beschädigt. Wie Zeugen - unter ihnen auch Polizisten - berichteten, hatte sich die zweisitzige Maschine kurz vor dem Absturz unruhig und wellenförmig bewegt. Der Fluglehrer der jungen Frau soll über Funk noch versucht haben einzugreifen.

 Four houses damaged

According to police, the 17-year-old on the airfield Quakenbrück was started. For yet unknown reasons, she was flying - probably on landing - at 19.15 clock in the front of a row house in the suburb of New Town. According to police, four houses were damaged. As witnesses - including police - reported that the two-seater plane had moved shortly before the crash, restless and wavy. The instructor of the young woman allegedly tried to intervene on the radio yet.
