NEW YORK CITY: Rescue workers in Connecticut have recovered four bodies after a twin-engine light aircraft flown by a retired Microsoft executive crashed into two houses, officials said yesterday.

The Rockwell International Turbo Commander 690B crashed on approach into Tweed New Haven Airport before noon (1600 GMT) on Friday as it was making an instrument approach in foul weather.

It hit two clapboard houses in a densely populated section of East Haven, with two children — one a year old, the other 13 — inside one of the properties.
