A helicopter crashed into a townhouse complex in the US state of Virginia on Sunday, leaving one person dead and the building ripped apart and damaged by fire, local media said.

Fire tore through three townhouses on New York City's Staten Island early Thursday, injuring 34 people including two young children who were tossed out of a smoke-filled second-floor window into the arms of neighbors below, authorities and witnesses said.
