A small plane crashed into the side of a synagogue in Augusta last night. Authorities report the pilot was killed. A rabbi with the Congregation Children of Israel’s Walton Way Temple said about a dozen congregants were inside the building cooking a meal for Hanukkah, but no one was injured. The plane was en route from Charleston, S.C. to Cartersville. Authorities say the pilot of the single-engine piper did report engine problems to air traffic control.
