Texas office hit by small plane | |
(31 minutes later) | |
A small, single-engine private plane has crashed into a seven-storey office building in Austin, Texas. | |
Smoke could be seen billowing from the building, which houses offices of the federal tax agency. | |
Most employees have been evacuated but one person is unaccounted for, a spokesman for the Austin fire department said. | |
The building is next door to FBI field offices, but the bureau said there was no indication the crash was deliberate. | |
A Department of Homeland Security spokesman said there was "no reason to believe there is a nexus of criminal or terrorist activity at this time". | |
A spokesman for the Austin fire department said the plane hit the building at 0956 local time (1556GMT). | |
He said two people had been taken to hospital, but it is not clear if they were seriously injured. | |
The fire department has cut power to the area to help them tackle a blaze at the scene. |
