(CNN) -- A former Microsoft executive and his son were aboard a turboprop airline that crashed Friday morning into two houses in East Haven, Connecticut, a family member told CNN. 

There has been "no official confirmation or positive identification" that Bill Henningsgaard and his son were on board, but there is no reason to believe that it was not the two of them, his brother, Blair Henningsgaard, said. 

Also feared dead in the crash were two children -- ages 1 and 13 -- in one house, East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. said. The other house was unoccupied. 

National Transportation Safety Board investigators cannot confirm the number of people killed, saying there are reports of four to six people dead. 

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy said there could be as many as five people killed in the crash, including up to three people on the plane. 

But Blair Henningsgaard said only his brother and his nephew were believed to be on the plane. 

Two bodies were seen inside the home but haven't been recovered because the home is unstable, East Haven Fire Chief Douglas Jackson said at a press conference Friday afternoon. 

Fire consumed both houses, preventing firefighters from searching for victims, Jackson said, and the basement in the home holding at least two victims was filled with water. 

Maturo said the children were in one house with their mother when the plane struck shortly before 11:30 a.m. The mother escaped, he said. 

"It's ... total devastation in the back of the home," Maturo said.

CHAPTER XII 

THE ELECTION FOR OFFICERS 

On the following morning all of the cadets but Harry Moss appeared in the messroom. 

"Joe Davis says Harry is quite sick," said Powell to Dick. 

"That's too bad. Have they sent for a doctor?" 

"I don't know." 

When Lew Flapp heard that Harry was sick he grew pale, and during the morning session could scarcely fix his mind on his studies. 

"I hope the little fool don't blab on us," was his thought. "If he does there is no telling what the captain will do. He's altogether too strict for comfort in some things." 

No doctor was sent for, so it was finally agreed that Harry Moss was not as ill as had been supposed. But the young cadet did not enter the schoolroom for all of that day. 

The sickness had frightened Captain Putnam, who was not yet over the scarlet fever scare, and he questioned Harry thoroughly about what he had been doing, and about what he had been eating and drinking. 

At first the young cadet did not dare to tell the truth, but finally he blurted out that he had taken a glass of liquor against his will and it had turned his stomach in a most painful manner. 

"Where did you get the liquor?" demanded Captain Putnam sternly. 

"I--I--oh, must I tell you, sir?" 

"Yes, Harry." 

"I--that is, Lew Flapp--Oh, sir, I don't want to be a tattle-tale."

Question:
Read the text and answer the questions.
On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly recommended the adoption and implementation of the Partition Plan for Mandatory Palestine. This UN plan specified borders for new Arab and Jewish states and also specified an area of Jerusalem and its environs which was to be administered by the UN under an international regime. The end of the British Mandate for Palestine was set for midnight on 14 May 1948. That day, David Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel," which would start to function from the termination of the mandate. The borders of the new state were not specified in the declaration. Neighboring Arab armies invaded the former Palestinian mandate on the next day and fought the Israeli forces. Israel has since fought several wars with neighboring Arab states, in the course of which it has occupied the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula (1956–57, 1967–82), part of Southern Lebanon (1982–2000), Gaza Strip (1967–2005; still considered occupied after 2005 disengagement) and the Golan Heights. It extended its laws to the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, but not the West Bank. Efforts to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict have not resulted in peace. However, peace treaties between Israel and both Egypt and Jordan have successfully been signed. Israel's occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem is the world's longest military occupation in modern times.[note 2]
