2 Dead After Small Plane Crashes Into House In Florida [Video]

A small plane crashed into a Florida house Monday morning, killing two people on board.

The incident took place in Miramar at around 11:40 a.m. ET. The single-engine aircraft had taken off from North Perry Airport, which is not far from its crash spot in the 2200 block of Jamaica Drive, NBC 6 reported.

Miramar Fire Rescue confirmed that two persons on board the plane were dead on the spot. Overhead aerial footage obtained by WPTV showed the plane ended up in an upside-down position and wedged between the backyard fence and the house, with one wing partially resting on the roof.

Firepersons could be seen trying to safely lower the plane to the ground.

Although it wasn't immediately determined what led to the crash, but a mid-air engine failure is suspected to be the reason behind it.

Miramar Police spokesperson Tania Rues told NBC 6 that there was a woman with her 2-year-old child inside the house but they escaped unharmed.

"I was in my bedroom with my baby and I just heard a big noise. I thought it was a transformer but I grabbed the baby and ran out and then from outside I saw the airplane on top of my house. It was really scary," the resident, Manyerenis Moreno, said. "I was born today again. I would have died right there with my baby. I'm glad that we're alive."

The plane seemingly hit some power lines before clipping the roof of another house nearby as it went down. Miramar Fire Rescue officials cut off the power in the neighborhood as a precaution.

Moreno said her house also suffered damages in the interiors. "Some damage at the house, the roof and my bedroom and the bathroom closet, but physically we're fine and we went out on time," she told NBC Miami.

Another witness, Donovan Russell, said he watched the plane become distressed before crashing with a loud boom. "I saw the plane coming from North Perry Airport. Right up until it was high. Then I hear it coming and the motor started putt-putt-putt. Then I hear no more noise and the motor shut off," he told the outlet. "The next thing I heard was 'boom.'"

The plane was on a test flight when it crashed. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash.
