The plane crash that killed five people in Melbourne earlier this week has brought terrifying memories for residents who live near the airport. Four American citizens and their pilot were killed on Tuesday when the charter jet they were in suffered catastrophic engine failure only moments after leaving the runway at Essendon Airport. It's the worst aviation accident in Victoria in three decades and the fourth crash to have happened with a two kilometre radius of the airport. Residents say it's only a matter of time before history repeats itself again.
