On March 29, 2025, a SOCATA TBM-700 crashed into a house in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, United States, killing the sole occupant on board who was the pilot. Background Aircraft The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified the aircraft as a 1993 SOCATA TBM-700 owned by DGW Enterprises LLC. The plane was built by French general aviation aircraft manufacturer SOCATA with the registration N721MB and serial number 91. It was powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-64 single-engine turboprop and had a capacity of four passengers and two crew. Weather WCCO-TV NEXT Weather meteorologists said the plane was flying within clouds that may have produced icing conditions. Accident The plane was en route from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis. The aircraft caught fire while approaching runway 09 at Anoka County-Blaine Airport and lost altitude, causing it to make a sharp left turn, nosedive, and crash into the roof of a residential house at around 12:22p.m. The crash occurred approximately 7 miles away from the airport. The crash resulted in the house becoming fully engulfed in flames and destroyed. The number of occupants inside the plane is unknown, but it is believed the pilot was the only occupant. The Brooklyn Park Fire Department confirmed there were no survivors from the aircraft. There were no injuries to the person in the house. Aftermath The fire caused minor damage to nearby properties and smoke to go inside houses. Debris was also on nearby homes. Residents of Brooklyn Park reported that they felt their house shaking due to the impact of the crash and explosion. The accident caused a power outage in the neighborhood lasting hours. Former NTSB investigator Greg Feith said the ensuing fire will make it more difficult for investigators because much of the evidence may have been destroyed. Feith also said the plane probably lost control and could only have gotten in a nosedive position from an aerodynamic stall. See Also
