A small plane crashed into a home in Minnestona on Saturday, killing all the passengers on board and causing fire and smoke at the house.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported that a SOCATA TBM7 aircraft en route to Anoka County-Blaine Airport crashed in a residential area around 12:20 p.m. (local time), leaving the home engulfed in flames, ABC News reported.
Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said there were no survivors among the passengers after it struck a residential property. The exact number of passengers remains unconfirmed. No one inside the house was reported killed.
A video shared on social media captured a house at the end of a tree-lined yard consumed by flames, with sirens wailing in the background.
From another perspective, thick plumes of smoke billowed from the burning home, which stood in the middle of a neighborhood. The neighboring houses appeared untouched by the fire. At least three firefighters were visible, working to extinguish the blaze.
The fire chief confirmed that all household occupants were evacuated safely.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz acknowledged the incident on X, stating: “My team is in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park, and we are monitoring the situation closely. Grateful to the first responders answering the call.”
The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct the primary investigation alongside the FAA.
The NTSB released a statement: “NTSB investigators are en route to the scene and are expected to arrive tomorrow. Once on site, the investigators will begin the process of documenting the scene and examining the aircraft. The aircraft will then be recovered to a secure facility for further evaluation.”
