A small plane crashed into high-voltage power lines north of the US capital, Washington, causing power outages for about 100,000 people.
Fire officials said two people were alive but trapped inside the plane, though the fire chief later refused to confirm the number of passengers.
US newspapers later revealed that a small plane crashed into high-voltage power lines about 30 miles north of Washington, causing a major power outage as rescue services continued to work into the night to rescue people on board the plane still hanging in the wires.
The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Authority said the plane crashed in foggy weather in the village of Montgomery.
The plane got stuck in live power lines 100 feet off the ground.
The plane's fall on wires knocked out power for between 85,000 and 90,000 people, according to the Washington-area utility company Pipco.
Roads were closed and power was cut off at many traffic lights in the area.
