A small plane crashed into a house in a suburb of Minneapolis, near Brooklyn Park, at 9:50 PM IST on Saturday, March 29. The plane, a single-engine SOCATA TBM7, was flying from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minnesota. The plane crashed into a home, causing the entire house to be destroyed by flames. Fortunately, the people in the house were not hurt, but there is at least one confirmed death on the plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the plane can carry up to seven people, but it's still unclear how many passengers were on board. According to a spokesperson named Risikat Adesaogun, the crash resulted in a "complete loss" of the house, which caught fire and also damaged nearby homes. The fire department chief, Shawn Conway, confirmed that there were no survivors on the plane, though the exact number of people on board is still unknown.
