'What sounded like a very loud muffler, was in fact an airplane engine stopped by a massive tree,' Giovanna Hanley, who had been visiting her parents' home in Pembroke Pines when the plane went down, wrote on Facebook.
Hanley said her father-in-law was across the street and helping to break glass and pull out passengers within seconds of the crash.
'Because of him and our neighbors' heroic efforts, 4 individuals were pulled to safety,' Hanley wrote. 'By the time EMS arrived, all were accounted for, being cared for, and fire had been extinguished.'
Fellow neighbor Robert Cox told NBC, 'There's a blessing in this that nobody was killed and that's primarily because the plane didn't blow up.'
This isn't the first time a plane has gone down near North Perry Airport. In 2021, 4-year-old Taylor Bishop died when a plane crashed into his mother's SUV.
Pembroke Pines Mayor Angelo Castillo told NBC that there have been 36 crashes in the past five years within Pembroke Pines.
'This community wants to feel safe,' he said. 'I'm calling on the Broward County Commission to conduct a full, complete and independent investigation of safety at this airport.'
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash.
