At least one person, believed to be a banking executive, aboard a TBM 700 was killed when the aircraft crashed vertically into a house in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday. U.S. Bank said the dead pilot was Terry Dolan, the bank’s COO and Vice Chair. Local first responders didn’t even realize there was a crash until after the resulting fire was brought under control. One man was in the house but was able to get out unhurt. By late Sunday authorities could only say there were no survivors on the plane but not how many were on board.
Doorbell video shows the turboprop single in a high-speed dive that ended with the house. Authorities said it was on what appeared to be a stable approach to Anoka County–Blaine Airport, just north of Minneapolis, when it turned left and descended. The flight originated in Des Moines. According to the Aviation Safety Network there had been several PIREPs for light rime ice in the area. Temperature was 38 degrees, the dew point was about 32 degrees and the humidity was 79% on the ground at the time of the crash.
