Police evacuated a Melbourne shopping mall after a light plane crashed into the building on February 20.
Emergency services were on the scene after the crash, which occurred just before 9 am. Victoria Police said they believed it was a “catastrophic engine failure” and the plane was a private charter flight.
The crash site was at the back of the Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) in a furniture store. Police said they were unable to confirm any casualties after evacuating the area.
