The plane took off from Milan Linate Airport on Sunday afternoon and was headed for Sardinia, but after a few minutes of flight it crashed into a building. The cause of the accident was not immediately known. According to witnesses, the plane was already on fire before the crash into the building, so there were allegations that its engine had caught fire.
