It broke through tramway cables and just missed a tram. It smashed shop windows. The ’plane caught fire, killing three people and injuring two'pedestrians. The crash caused a panic in the streets, some people shouting, “A bomb has fallen!” The crash short-circuited the electric cable, causing several hours’ dislocation of the tram service. The other ’plane fell harmlessly in the suburb.
