She was about to sit down and watch TV when she heard a loud boom. 'There was a big amount of, like dark smoke at first,' Goldstein said. 'And then after that, we got up closer. There's just debris everywhere. You couldn't even tell it was a plane at all.' The National Transportation Safety Board — or NTSB — said their initial investigation suggests the plane flew into powerlines before hitting the ground. One rescued, two displaced after Decatur house fire 'Our power went out for a second and then our generator kicked on,' Goldstein said.
