Previous Plane Crashes in Brooklyn Park
According to the NTSB, the last reported plane crash in Brooklyn Park occurred on March 16, 1986. In that incident, a Cessna 152 piloted by a solo student pilot experienced a "re-flaring" while attempting to land. The pilot tried to execute a go-around maneuver, but the aircraft’s left wheel struck a snowbank at the edge of the runway, causing the plane to tip forward and land on its nose in the snow. No injuries were reported in that crash.
In November of 2023, a small plane reportedly made an emergency landing on Brooklyn Road, County Road 81 near West Broadway, in Brooklyn Park after authorities said the plane lost power. The plane had taken off from Crystal Airport. Reportedly, while the plane was coming in for the landing, it struck a power line and collided with a vehicle. Both the pilot and the driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries.
Neighbors and residents in the Brooklyn Park community have expressed their shock at this incident in their backyards. As investigators determine the cause, local authorities urge residents to avoid the area while emergency crews and federal investigators continue their operations.
