A small plane flying from Iowa to Minnesota crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park on Saturday, sparking a massive fire. Authorities confirmed that all passengers on board perished, though those inside the house escaped unharmed.
The FAA reported that the aircraft went down shortly after 12:20 p.m. local time. The NTSB has launched an investigation into the cause, with officials expected on-site by Sunday.
Dramatic footage shows the home engulfed in flames as firefighters battled the blaze. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stated his team is monitoring the situation and praised first responders.
