A small plane crashed into a construction site in Mumbai yesterday, killing five people, four of which were on-board and one on the ground.

India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation has said the plane was on a test flight but that weather conditions did not appear to be a factor in the crash. A team is currently investigating the nature of the crash.

Former Indian Aviation Minister Praful Patel praised the pilot for the guiding the plane into an open area, saving many lives at the cost of her own.
