Overview
- The FAA said two people were on board and both died when a small plane crashed near Crystal Airport, with North Dakota Rep. Liz Conmy identified as one victim.
- Investigators identified the aircraft as a Beech F33A that went down shortly after takeoff, and NTSB teams are expected early next week to examine the wreckage.
- The Brooklyn Park Fire Department reached the scene within minutes and put out the flames as police secured the area.
- Neighbors reported a loud boom and saw the aircraft engulfed, and the intense fire kept bystanders from reaching the occupants.
- The crash occurred near County Road 81 by Southbrook Park, and FOX 9 reported it is the second fatal plane crash in Brooklyn Park in just over a year.
