Switzerland crash: Twenty dead in WW2 plane crash
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45076060<snip>
Twenty people have died after a World War Two vintage aircraft crashed into a mountainside in eastern Switzerland, police say.
The plane - a Junkers JU-52 HB-HOT - was carrying 17 passengers and three crew on a sightseeing flight when it took off on Saturday afternoon.
Operator JU-Air said it was saddened by the news and it had set up a helpline for relatives. It has suspended all flights until further notice.
The cause of the crash is not known.
The passengers were returning to Zurich from a two-day excursion in Locarno near Switzerland's southern border.
