Liz Conmy leaves behind four children.Investigators say the crash happened shortly after takeoff, with the plane identified as a Beech F33A. The Brooklyn Park Fire Department arrived within minutes and put out the fire. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed there were two people on the plane and local authorities said there were no survivors.
Neighbors living near the crash site described hearing a loud boom and seeing flames.
“I was in the house, in my bedroom, and my daughter was eating cereal at the kitchen table, and there was a really loud boom,” said Ashley Capp, who lives across the street.
Kim Clark, another neighbor, said, “It was scary because it was like, it’s really close to my home, and my family stays here.”
Clark captured video of the plane engulfed in flames just after the crash.
“We look across the street, and it was a huge flame, huge fire. And then everybody started calling 911, and some people were getting close to see if there were anybody alive. But then it kind of started to spark, and the flames started to get bigger,” said Clark.
Police arrived quickly, but neighbors said the fire made it impossible to help those inside the plane.
“The police got here in a few minutes, but it was kind of sad to watch them. You could almost tell on their faces that there was a person in there, and they were kind of circling the plane; they couldn’t do anything without fire,” said Capp.
The crash marks the second deadly plane crash in Brooklyn Park in more than a year.
“It’s getting more and more worrisome because we’re kind of in the line of the airport there,” said Clark.
It’s absolutely terrible.
Please pray for her family and for the family of the pilot who was also killed in their time of grief.
