Two small private planes collided in the air, killing five persons and strewing bodies and wreckage for a half mile, authorities said. The planes crashed near the Mesquite landfill in southeast Dallas. Four bodies, including that of a woman, were found in the debris of a Cessna 441 Conquest, a turbo-prop, said an employee of the city of Mesquite, a Dallas suburb. The fifth body was found in the wreckage of the other plane, a single-engine Cessna 152 owned by Marjorie E. Harwell of Dallas.
