Minnesota Plane Crash: What We Know as Emergency Teams Respond

A small plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday afternoon, with first responders arriving on the scene as flames engulfed a house.

The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) confirmed the incident and said no one onboard the plane survived, though the agency could not confirm how many passengers were on the aircraft.

The Context

A deadly plane crash in late January at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., claimed 67 lives as an American Airlines passenger jet collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter. A series of high-profile aircraft incidents continued to make headlines in the following weeks as the Trump administration began making cuts to the FAA.

One such incident included a Delta Air Lines jet that took off from Minneapolis and flipped over while trying to land amid high winds in Toronto.

What To Know

The FAA confirmed the incident on its website, identifying the plane as a SOCATA TBM7 that crashed at around 1:20 p.m. ET. The plane departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he is monitoring the situation and thanked first responders who had reached the scene.

Officials at the scene said no one inside the house was injured, according to FOX 9 News.

The FAA was unable to confirm the number of people onboard the plane but announced a joint investigation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

A SOCATA TBM7 is a narrow-bodied fixed-wing plane with a single turboprop engine. The plane first entered service in 1990 and has served as a popular business and corporate aircraft that can seat four passengers and two pilots.

The crash occurs just after the FAA confirmed that a Delta Air Lines jet narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. Air Force T-38 military aircraft on Friday, just miles from the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

What People Are Saying

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "My team is 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."

What Happens Next?

As the investigation continues, more information is expected over the weekend, but a proper report is not expected until Monday at the earliest.

NTSB investigators are en route but expected to arrive on Sunday. NTSB will lead the investigation, according to the FAA.
