International Desk: Nine people have died after a tourist plane smashed into a Swedish river on Sunday afternoon.
Horrified eyewitnesses told how they heard a loud "bang" before the plane plunged into a river outside Umea during a skydiving trip.
One told local Expressen how the plane spun into a sickening nosedive shortly after 2pm.
It plunged into the river near the island of Storsandskar after sending a distress signal at 2:12pm.
Fire service spokesman Conny Ovarfordt said: "We are already on the scene with a rescue team which is assisting the ambulance and we have opened a location, together with aid organisations, to give psychological and social care.
"It's a parachute plane, and something seems to have happened just after take-off." _Agencies
