On 25 May 2010, a small Cirrus SR22 4-seater plane crashed on the roof of a nearby building to the airport, which was just 500 m (1,600 ft) away. The pilot and a passenger died in the crash; however, nobody on the ground was seriously hurt. Fire crews quickly doused the flames; rescue crews were not able to go on top of the building to reach the plane due to possibility of structural collapse.
