Small plane bursts into flames mid-air, landing on a couple's house
A couple were watching TV at home Saturday night, when a single engine plane crashed into their house in Glibert, Arizona. Amazingly, the pair have escaped unharmed.
Local police say the small aircraft was part of a demonstration for the annual Constitutional Fair, and crashed around 7:30 p.m. MDT Saturday night after catching fire mid-air.
It was a crazy stroke of luck for the skydivers on board too, who were left equally unharmed after ejecting from the plane before it crashed.
