A flight from Des Moines to Minneapolis never made it to its destination, ending in disaster when the plane went down in a suburban Minnesota neighborhood. Investigators are now working to determine what went wrong.
A tragic plane crash occurred in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday, March 29, when a turboprop aircraft struck a home, leaving no survivors.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified the plane as a SOCATA TBM-700. It went down around 12:20 p.m. local time, just six minutes before its scheduled arrival at Anoka County-Blaine Airport.
The plane had departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa earlier that morning. Flight data shows it took off at 11:12 a.m. local time. The aircraft was expected to land between 12:11 p.m. and 12:28 p.m. but was instead recorded crashing at around 12:20 p.m.
The plane, registered to DGW Enterprises LLC, was traveling at an altitude of 28,000 feet and filed a speed of 329 mph during its journey. Its route followed the ROGAN LAL AMORY Q110 JOKKY flight path.
Shortly before the crash, the plane was nearing its destination when it went down in a residential neighborhood, igniting a fire that engulfed a home. Fortunately, the residents of the home destroyed escaped unhurt. Brooklyn Park spokeswoman Risikat Adesaogun confirmed that no one aboard survived, though the exact number of passengers remains unknown.
Both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the crash. The NTSB will lead the investigation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
