A small plane crashed near a Pennsylvania retirement community, prompting a "mass casualty incident" declaration. Emergency services rushed to Manheim Township as the Beechcraft, en route to Ohio, collided with a residential area.
Five passengers were aboard, and multiple injuries occurred, with local houses reportedly catching fire. According to audio from Air Traffic Control, the pilot attempted to return to Lancaster Airport due to an open door before the crash.
Pennsylvania Governor @JoshShapiroPA stated state resources are aiding the local response. This shocking incident illustrates the chaotic nature of our skies!
