A small aircraft crashes into a Brooklyn Park home, resulting in no survivors among passengers.
The tragic incident occurred on Saturday shortly after the plane took off at approximately 12:20 PM local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Emergency responders rushed to the scene where the aircraft struck a suburban residence, igniting a massive fire. Fire Chief Shawn Conway confirmed that all passengers aboard the plane perished in the crash, yet fortunately, no casualties were reported from within the house.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are currently working to determine the cause of the crash and have deployed a team to the site, where they will document the scene and examine the wreckage. The aircraft will subsequently be transferred to a secure location for further analysis.
