At least one person was killed after a small plane flying from Iowa to Minnesota in the United States crashed into a house in a Minneapolis suburb Saturday. The house caught fire after the aircraft crashed into it and was destroyed, but its residents were not hurt, Brooklyn Park spokesperson Risikat Adesaogun said.
Investigators said it was not yet known how many people were aboard the single-engine SOCATA TBM7 aircraft, but reports said there were no survivors among the passengers.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the aircraft departed from the Des Moines International Airport with a destination of the Anoka County-Blaine Airport, located in another Minneapolis suburb. It crashed in Brooklyn Park, a suburb of Minneapolis. The city of 82,000 people lies about 11 miles to the north of the incident.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
Videos of the crash on social media show the aircraft free-falling from the sky before crashing into the residential area.

Champion and Hamilton double-charged the county and the business owners for their services, according to the government. They also recruited them to craft fraudulent applications to defraud the county’s pandemic program along with PPP and EIDL.
Businesses receiving services through Futuristic Management overstated income, expenses, taxes and lease records. In one case, Champion helped a boxing coach obtain a $100,000 loan by falsely claiming a business earned $405,000 in 2019. The coach made less than $1,000 and had no employees or expenses.
Champion and Hamilton await sentencing after each pleaded guilty to felony offenses last month.
Even now, prosecutors are still “trying to play catch-up” with the volume of fraud, Galdo said.
