4 dead in plane crash in rural part of southern Florida

Florida authorities say a twin-engine propeller plane has crashed in a rural part of Miami-Dade County shortly after takeoff, killing all four people aboard.
     
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen identified the plane as a Beechcraft 1900 that had been headed to the Turks and Caicos Islands. She said the plane was attempting to return to Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport on Wednesday when it crashed about 2:45 p.m.
 
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Arnold Piedrahita said all four people aboard died. He said the pilot reported engine problems after takeoff, then clipped a power line before the plane hit the ground and burst into flames. No buildings on the ground were damaged.
     
Authorities haven't released the identities of those killed. Bergen said the plane is not registered in the U.S.
