Mrs Petrescu was also a dual-national and held a French passport, while her son had been working in Canada. Petrescu, who also held Germany nationality, headed a major construction firm and owned a string of hypermarkets and mall, Italian media have reported. According to the Romanian newspaper Adevarul, Petrescu was worth 3 billion euros. The Pilatus PC-12 single engine plane took off from the main runway at Linate airport at 1.04pm local time but crashed 11 minutes later. It performed a right hand turn that would have taken it on its route to Olbia in Sardinia but instead of heading south it went towards San Donato. As the aircraft veered off course, frantic radio operators of the Linate area control centre, which manages traffic in the skies of North-West Italy, asked: “Why did you deviate? To avoid turbulence?” FAMILY TRAGEDY “No” is the only word that reportedly came in response from Petrescu. Within a minute, the plane disappeared from the monitors without any mayday signal. Witnesses said the plane burst into flames and made what investigators call a “vertical fall” 16 seconds before it hit the ground. Firefighters rushed to the scene but the pilot and passengers died at the scene. Those who saw the crash recalled the moment the plane plummeted out of the sky and smashed into the building, which was thankfully empty . One named as Andrea, 19, told tgcom.24.:  “I saw the plane lose control. I saw it just as it crashed. I saw it dive. “The plane was low. And then there was a lot of smoke, flames in the sky. Pieces were flying. I was very scared.” EPASmoke rising in the moments after the crash[/caption] Petrescu’s son Dan Stefan Petrescu also died in the crash FacebookAlexandrescou pictured with husband Filippo Nascimbene[/caption] TwitterDan Stefan Petrescu’s friend Julien Brossard was also on the plane[/caption] APThe crash happened just after 1pm local time[/caption] APA piece of the aircraft lying on the ground[/caption] EPAFirefighters tackling the blaze after the crash[/caption] We pay for your stories!
