No survivors from small plane that crashed into home in Minneapolis suburb
There were no survivors after a small
plane crashed
into a home Saturday afternoon in a residential area of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, officials said. No one on the ground was injured.
The crash of the Socata TBM 700 plane occurred at around 12:20 p.m. local time Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration reported. The plane had departed Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was bound for Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis when the crash occurred, the FAA said.
Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said in a news conference that there were no survivors from the crashed plane.
"There are no survivors from the aircraft which struck the home," Conway said.
He disclosed that none of the home's residents were hurt, but it was unclear if anyone was in the home when the crash occurred.
"There were no occupant fatalities, everybody was exited the home safely," Conway added.
Crews arrived on scene to find the home fully engulfed in flames, Conway said. The circumstances of the incident were still unclear.
The National Transportation Safety Board said a team was headed to the crash scene and was expected to arrive Sunday. Investigators will then process and document the aircraft. The FAA will also investigate.
In a social media post, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote that his "team is in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park," and they're "monitoring the situation closely." Walz added that he was grateful to first responders.
On Friday,
a Minneapolis-bound Delta flight
had a near miss with an Air Force jet while leaving Reagan International Airport outside Washington, D.C. No injuries were reported for either aircraft.
