A World War II-era cargo plane sheared off treetops and narrowly missed homes as its crew guided it to a fiery landing on a Fort Lauderdale city street in Florida on Monday. All three people on board survived.
Though hospitalized, the three were "sitting up and talking on their cell phones" hours after the crash, hospital spokeswoman Maria Soldani said. Two people on the ground also were injured, one seriously.
The DC-3 cargo flight en route to the Bahamas crashed about three miles east of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport shortly after takeoff, said Greg Martin, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman.
