NSW: Grandfather says he's blessed family avoided plane crash

The father of a woman whose house was hit by a light plane in Sydney's south-west says
he feels blessed his daughter and grandchild weren't at home.

Two people were killed after two light aircraft collided over Casula .. sending one
of the planes crashing into the rear of a two-storey home.

The residents .. BIANCA and STEVEN CONTINA .. and their one week old baby AIDEN ..

weren't at home at the time of the crash.

BIANCA'S father GINO VELERIO says she took the baby for a photo with Santa Claus some
time this morning and feels blessed they weren't in the house.

He says they normally spend most of their time in the kitchen .. which is attached
to the patio demolished by the plane.
