No Survivors in Another Tragic Plane Crash
Last month, tragedy struck as an American Airlines commercial airliner crashed into an Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing everyone aboard each craft. Since then, there have been a few other crashes and near-misses that sparked concern, and now, another tragic plane crash has occurred. On Saturday afternoon, a small plane crashed into a home in a residential area of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, which is a suburb of Minneapolis. While nobody on the ground was hurt or killed as a result of the crash, there were no survivors on the plane, Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said in a press conference. "There are no survivors from the aircraft which struck the home," Conway said. "There were no occupant fatalities, everybody was exited the home safely." It's not clear what caused the crash or how many people were on board the aircraft. The FAA said that the National Transportation Safety Board would be investigating the crash. "A SOCATA TBM 700 crashed in a residential area in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, around 12:20 p.m. local time on Saturday, March 29," the Federal Aviation Administration wrote in a statement. "The plane departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis. We do not yet know how many people were on board. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates." While none of the deceased have been officially identified, a spokesperson for Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank said Sunday that Chief Administration Officer Terry Dolan was believed to have been on the crash. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday's tragic incident," the spokesperson said, according to CBS Sports. "We are grateful that there were not any injuries to residents of the home that was impacted by the crash, and we thank all the first responders who have provided service." Obviously, the investigation into the crash has just begun, but it's certainly a tragic incident.

U.S. Bank exec Terry Dolan believed dead in Minnesota plane crash
Officials of U.S. Bank said Monday they believe one of their executives was on the small plane that crashed in a Minneapolis suburb over the weekend. The plane was registered to vice chair and chief administration officer Terry Dolan, a spokesperson for the Minnesota-based bank told the Daily News. 'At this time, the medical examiner's office has not been able to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was,' the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday's tragic incident. We are grateful that there were not any injuries to residents of the home that was impacted by the crash, and we thank all the first responders who have provided service.' The SOCATA TBM 700 single-engine plane plummeted into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, at about 12:20 p.m. Saturday, the Brooklyn Park Fire Department said. It had taken off from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed for Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The home was engulfed in flames. One of two residents was inside but was able to escape, the Brooklyn Park Fire Department said in a statement Sunday. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was moving the plane 'to a secure location for further examination,' the fire department said, adding that a report would be forthcoming in about two weeks, though that would be too early to determine a cause. Dolan, U.S. Bank's chief administration officer since 2023, worked on corporate strategy oversight, social responsibility, marketing, analytics and 'transformation,' according to his profile on the company website. 'He has also been a leader in its community development work and investments in affordable housing, economic development and renewable energy tax credit financing.' He was also heavily involved in community organizations that helped the homeless and promoted arts, culture and higher education. He served on several boards, including a 2021-17 stint at Catholic Charities Twin Cities. 'It was a real sad shock,' Catholic Charities former CEO Tim Marx, who recruited Dolan for the role, told CBS News. 'He was a perfect fit, enthusiastic and taught us so much and did so much for the organization, as he did for many throughout the community.'

Officials: US Bank exec from Minnesota piloted the plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park
Federal authorities arrived in Minnesota on Sunday to start their investigation into a small plane that departed from Des Moines and crashed into a Brooklyn Park home on Saturday. Investigators said the crash killed all aboard the single-engine turboprop plane, engulfing the house in flames. The Socata TBM 700 plane crashed in the Minneapolis suburb around 12:22 p.m. Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The aircraft departed Des Moines International Airport and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis, according to the agency. There were no survivors in the plane, Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said Saturday. Investigators believe one person, the pilot, was on board the aircraft, but did not release any names on Sunday. The plane was registered to U.S. Bank executive Terry Dolan, the company told USA TODAY Sunday. "At this time, the medical examiner's office has not been able to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was," company spokesperson Jeffrey Shelman told USA TODAY. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday's tragic incident." Dolan was named chief administration officer of U.S. Bancorp in 2023, according to the company's website. He was also on the board of directors for boards of directors for Catholic Charities, the Minnesota Opera, Artspace, The Minneapolis Foundation and the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, the Bancorp website stated. He also holds a bachelor's degree from the University of St. Thomas. More: Update: No survivors on plane that crashed in Minnesota According to FlightAware, the single-prop plane flew from Naples, Florida, and stopped in Des Moines at around 10:30 a.m. The plane took off 45 minutes later. The Socata TBM 700 left Des Moines International Airport at 11:12 a.m. and was scheduled to land in Blaine sometime between 12:11 p.m. and 12:28 p.m., according to the FAA and flight records. The northern flight path was about 280 miles. The plane crashed six minutes before its scheduled landing time. Officials do not know if any additional passengers boarded the flight while it stopped in Des Moines. Tim Sorensen, an aviation accident investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, said he arrived in Minnesota on Sunday to begin documenting the site. "We will begin recovering the aircraft later this afternoon, and the aircraft will be taken to a secure location where a more detailed examination will be conducted," he said during a press conference on Sunday. Investigators will also look at the weather, the background experience of the pilot, the status of the aircraft, the maintenance of the aircraft and other factors that could have caused the crash. "The investigation is just getting started. We don't have a lot of answers right now," Sorensen said. Sorensen said the fire caused "significant damage" to the plane. A preliminary report should come out in 10 to 14 days, he said. More: No survivors on plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park The plane is registered to DGW Enterprises in Edina, Minnesota.
