A plane has crashed in the United States triggering a fireball as a home went up in flames. Unverified footage posted on social media shows firefighters at the scene of the crash on Saturday (March 29), with a building consumed by flames.
The video was posted on X from an account called Republicans against Trump with the caption: “A plane crashes into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, engulfing it in flames. Officials say no one inside the house was injured”.
State governor Tim Walz confirmed the apparent tragedy, writing online: “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.”
Footage shows a huge fire, billowing black smoke and stunned onlookers as sirens can be heard wailing in the background as the emergency services rush to the scene.
Local media outlet Fox9 reported that the aircraft crashed near the junction of 109th Avenue North and Noble Parkway in Brooklyn Park, a suburb on the west bank of the Mississippi River, upstream from Minneapolis.

The Flightradar tracking program shows the aircraft was a SOCATA TBM-700, a single engine turboprop jet which can carry up to six people. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
CBS reported that according to the US Federal Aviation Authority, the plane took off from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was heading to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis.
The same media outlet said a Delta flight bound for Minneapolis on Friday (March 28) had a near miss with an Air Force jet while leaving Reagan International Airport in Washington DC.
