"We still don’t have access to the house, we don’t know when they’re going to take it out," said Manyereni Moreno, who was in a home with her 2-year-old child when the plane crashed into it. "We are waiting for someone from aviation department comes here. And it depends on them."
Moreno said Monday she heard the impact on her roof while playing with her child.
“I was in my bedroom with my baby and I just heard a big noise. I thought it was a transformer but I grabbed the baby and ran out and then from outside I saw the airplane on top of my house. It was really scary," Moreno said. "I was born today again. I would have died right there with my baby. I’m glad that we’re alive."
Moreno can be heard asking for help in a 911 call released by police Tuesday.
“An airplane just fell on top of my house, can you send someone really quick?" she told a 911 operator. “I was there with my baby and I got out."
In another 911 call, a concerned resident reported the plane down.
"Hi, an airplane just fell right here near to my house," a woman told a 911 operator.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are looking into the crash. It appears an engine failure may have happened at a low altitude, experts said.
A total of 14 crashes have taken place after takeoff from North Perry Airport in the last five years, with the most recent one coming in March 2021 when a plane crash involving a car killed two people.
"When the airport was initially built with North Perry during the 40s, there’s nobody around," said a woman named Elaine who lives in the neighborhood. "I don’t know what needs to be done, but something has to be because this is happening too frequently."
