- Small plane used by a parachuting school crashed near Tomblaine, France, killing all 11 on board — the pilot plus 10 parachutists (reports say the trainees were a group of nurses).
- The single‑engine aircraft went down shortly after takeoff in a residential area by a shopping centre and bike path, narrowly missing nearby homes.
- A witness said the engine noise suddenly stopped before a vertical plunge; investigators and government ministers have gone to the scene and are probing causes, with heat as a possible but unconfirmed factor.
