There isn't much information yet, but the BBC is reporting that an aeroplane has hit a building at a Kansas airport within the US.

Photographs from the area show grey smoke billowing from the Mid-Continent airport in Wichita, Kansas.

Emergency crews were responding to the FlightSafety International building, local media reported.

Update: KSN has confirmed from the FAA that a twin engine Beechcraft lost an engine on takeoff from Wichita’s Mid-Continent airport and crashed into the FlightSafety building at the airport. The east side of the roof on that building has collapsed. One person is in critical condition. KSN has confirmed 10 people are unaccounted for.

Live streaming video is available from the KSN link.

As more information comes in, please add it in comments to this story. We'll update the main story when we know more.

    The plane was no longer under effective human control, so i will call it a drone.
