| Several Polish air force commanders were feared killed on Wednesday when their military plane with 19 people aboard crashed on the way back from a conference on aviation safety. Officials said the Spanish-made CASA 295m transport plane carrying 15 passengers and four crew was approaching a military airport in northern Poland during the evening when the accident occurred. Colonel Cezary Siemion, a senior defense ministry spokesman, said all aboard the plane were assumed to have been killed. Officials said 19 people were aboard, having earlier said there were 18.
