MELBOURNE — A light aircraft exploded on Tuesday in a "massive fireball" with police saying none of the five people aboard survived as it smashed into a shopping centre near the Australian city of Melbourne. The Beechcraft plane veered just after take-off into the shopping centre, that was still closed, next to Essendon Fields airport. Live television footage showed burned out wreckage, flames and major damage at the shopping centre and adjacent buildings. A taxi driver called ABC radio and told of the "massive fireball". "I saw this plane ... when it hit the building there was a massive fireball," said the man called Jason.
