BROOKLYN PARK, MN – Newly released video footage captures the moment a small aircraft crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday afternoon.
Authorities have yet to confirm the number of individuals on board or the extent of any injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has verified that the aircraft went down near Noble Parkway and 109th Avenue North, sparking a fire upon impact.
Witnesses in the area reported seeing flames engulfing a portion of the house as emergency responders rushed to the scene.
Fire crews have since extinguished the blaze, and while the home remains standing, officials noted that the roof was completely torn off due to the crash.
According to preliminary reports, the aircraft departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was en route to Anoka County–Blaine Airport in Minneapolis before it went down.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and details regarding the plane’s occupants have yet to be released.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz acknowledged the incident, stating that his administration is closely monitoring developments.
“My team is in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park, and we are monitoring the situation closely,” Walz wrote on X. “Grateful to the first responders answering the call.”
Dramatic video from the crash site shows thick smoke billowing from the residence as firefighters work to contain the flames.
Emergency medical personnel were also seen on-site, though no official statements have been made regarding casualties or survivors.
Authorities are expected to release further updates as the investigation progresses.
