Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.- A cloud of fire and panic engulfed the Brooklyn Park neighborhood this Saturday when a private plane violently crashed into a residence, sparking a large fire that was captured on video by nearby witnesses. The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m., when the SOCATA TBM7, which had taken off from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa, headed to Anoka-Blaine County Airport in Minneapolis, crashed into a home in this metropolitan community.
The flames quickly spread across the impacted property, but thanks to the swift response from emergency teams, no injuries were reported inside the house, as confirmed by local authorities. The coordinated efforts of the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to nearby homes, though rescue teams remain in the area implementing preventive evacuation measures.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not yet confirmed how many people were on board the plane, while the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), along with the FAA, has launched an investigation to determine the exact causes of the accident.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz quickly expressed his support through social media, thanking the first responders for their brave work: «Grateful to the first volunteers who are attending to the emergency,» he posted, emphasizing the importance of immediate support in critical situations like this.
Since Saturday, local authorities have strengthened air safety measures on private flight routes near urban areas as investigations continue. The home that was impacted was completely destroyed by the fire, but the quick actions of the responders prevented a greater tragedy, protecting the residents and the community from even more severe consequences.
