A small plane crash was caught on a CCTV camera in Pembroke Pines, Florida, as a Cessna T337G struck a tree and crash-landed in a residential neighbourhood, just a mile short of North Perry Airport, authorities said.
The footage installed outside the house, captured the aircraft striking a tree and bursting into flames. Moments later, neighbours rushed to the scene in a desperate move to rescue the four people onboard.
“You could hear it decelerating, and then it just smacked the tree,” Eddie Crispin, a local resident, told WSVN. “The neighbour across the street had a fire extinguisher, another had a hose, and someone even arrived with an axe to break the window. We pulled them out one by one.”
According to Fox News Digital, the national transportation safety board (NTSB) said in a statement that the plane was on approach to the airport when it crashed. The wreckage is now being moved to a secure facility in Jacksonville for further examination.
No official word yet on the condition of the passengers, but the swift action by locals is being widely praised.
