Emergency Landing in Paris Suburb: Small Aircraft Touches Down in Villejuif

A small plane with two engines had to make an emergency landing in a suburb of Paris. The three people on board, including a flying instructor in his 80s and two passengers in their late 20s, were taken to the hospital for urgent medical attention. Fortunately, their injuries were not life-threatening. No one else was harmed in the incident. The plane experienced an engine failure and landed in a residential area in Villejuif, according to France's Transport Minister, Clément Beaune. During the landing, the plane crashed into the wall of an apartment building after initially touching down on a road. Eventually, it came to a stop in the garden behind the building, with parts of the aircraft scattered over a nearby garage and the fuselage crushed. The tail and wings of the plane were severely damaged. The flight had originated from Rouen and was supposed to land in Toussus-le-Noble near Versailles. Authorities have opened an investigation into the incident, focusing on involuntary injuries and endangering the lives of others. The Office of Investigation and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety is also conducting its own investigation.
