Pilot Survives Plane Crash Into Phoenix Home

Federal investigators are at the scene of a plane crash in a suburban Phoenix neighborhood. Gilbert Fire Department spokesman Gary Hildebrandt says firefighters were assisting National Transportation Safety Board personnel Sunday, the morning after a plane carrying several skydivers crashed into a Gilbert home. Authorities say a Cessna 182 aircraft was carrying a pilot and four skydivers Saturday night as part of Gilbert’s annual Constitution Fair when the plane crashed for unknown reasons. According to Hildebrandt, the plane’s occupants were able to parachute out before the aircraft struck the house.
