A skydiving plane crashed in northeastern France on Sunday, killing all 11 people on board, authorities said. The plane suffered a malfunction and “fell almost vertically” soon after taking off from the Nancy-Essey airfield on the outskirts of the city of Nancy, the region’s prefect, Yves Séguy, said. The plane belonged to a skydiving club and was taking part in a parachute jump, he said. The dead included five parachuting instructors, five clients and the pilot, according to L’Est Républicain, a local newspaper.
