A doorbell security camera captured a small plane crashing near Miami, killing a young boy and two others.
A single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza crashed shortly after takeoff around 3 p.m. from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on Monday. The plane struck an SUV upon its crash landing. The two people in the plane died at the scene, while a woman and the boy in the car had to be extricated from the vehicle and taken to the hospital, where the boy died that evening.

“Local authorities will release the names and medical conditions of the aircraft occupants,” the statement said. “The FAA will release the tail number of the aircraft after investigators verify it at the accident site. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide additional updates. Neither agency identifies people involved in aircraft accidents.”
The deadly crash was caught on camera by a neighbor’s doorbell security camera. In the video, the SUV can be seen driving down the street when the plane falls out of the sky, hits the car, and careens into the airport fence where a fire starts.
“We heard like a bomb, like a tremendous noise, and everything was on fire, and it dived into a car,” Anabel Fernandez, the neighbor whose camera caught the accident, said according to the Sun Sentinel. “I live right here. I walk with my babies every day. The plane could have got us all. I am in shock.”

“I’m always afraid being here, my family and I see the planes flying very low while we’re walking the neighborhood or sometimes when we’re out back in the pool,” she said.
This is at least the fifth major incident at the airport in the last year.
