Plane With 3 Americans Aboard Crashes

A cargo plane with three Americans aboard crashed Wednesday while it was dumping water over a forest fire in southeastern France, killing two people, officials said. Two surviving crew members were seriously injured when the Hercule C130 crashed into a hill near the small town of Burzet as it was releasing water over the flames. The crew consisted of three Americans and a Frenchman living in the United States. It is unclear which crew members were killed, and authorities say they will not identify them until their families have been notified.
