Video: Plane Crashes Into Minnesota House; All Passengers Killed, Residents Emerge Safe
Washington:
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.

According to Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway, the blaze had developed into a “fully involved structure fire” by the time the fire department arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz said his team was “in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park and we are monitoring the situation closely”.
“Grateful to the first responders answering the call,” he added.
The crash follows a number of such tragedies and near misses since US President Donald Trump and his cabinet started making cuts to federal agencies. Hundreds of employees responsible for aiding air safety were fired under the Trump administration’s cost-cutting measures, according to the Associated Press.
It’s the kickoff to summer, known as the Midwest’s largest one-day free street festival.
The event brings more than 200,000 people to 30 blocks of St. Paul’s historic Grand Avenue, organizers said.
“It’s a way for us to highlight Grand Avenue and all that makes it special year-round,” said Holly Weinkauf, board president for the Grand Avenue Business Association.
A 5K run and parade kicked off the Sunday tradition that’s gone on more years than not for more than half a century.
“It’s a great community celebration, just seeing everybody come together for a day of joy,” said Weinkauf.
Not only does the event bring people together, but Weinkauf said it’s also a boost for business, in an area that’s faced an exodus in recent years, from Salut to Pottery Barn.
Weinkauf is the owner of Grand Avenue business Red Balloon Bookshop, which was busy with customers Sunday.
“Grand Old Day may be the first time they find our store and they come in and… they come back,” said Weinkauf.
Sharon Lane recently moved to St. Paul from Seattle and shares her new resident’s perspective.
“I like the fact that the community has come together as a whole. I like all the different foods that you can taste and it gives me the opportunity to meet people,” said Lane.
