Six people were killed when a plane crashed into a house in Montgomery County on Monday morning, authorities said.
Three people aboard the plane and three people inside the house were killed in the crash, according to a tweet from the Montgomery County fire department. The incident occurred about a mile northwest of the Montgomery County Airpark.
Pete Piringer, a spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Department, said that the three victims aboard the plane were found dead at the scene and were not transported to a hospital. It took emergency personnel until almost 4:30 p.m. to confirm that three people in the house had also been killed.
Montgomery County Fire Chief Steven E. Lohr said at a news conference earlier in the afternoon that three people were unaccounted for and that they were residents of 19733 Drop Forge Lane, a home in the cul-de-sac which the plane crashed into.

I mean the chance of a tragedy such as this happening is remote, but this proves it can be and is a reality to be lived with. May the relatives of all killed find some kind of peace..... 
I wonder who was on the plane. Isn't that a DC area location? Private plane/jet...?
So tragic, a mother upstairs with her babies was killed along with the jet passengers.
I live not too far from Shady Grove Metro, in Derwood.
