ARVADA, Colo. — Saturday marks day two of the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation after a plane crashed in a front lawn in Arvada. All four people inside the plane were rushed to a hospital with serious or critical injuries after it happened Friday.
The NTSB confirmed two people on board were adults, and Arvada police said the other two on board were children. Randy Hamrick, the homeowner where the plane crashed, explained to 9NEWS how it all unfolded in his front lawn. “I don’t even know how to explain what was going through my head, I guess, disbelief,” Hamrick said.
He was watching the news with his wife when the plane crashed. He thought a train nearby derailed. “The house just violently shook, we got a really heavy orange glow through the windows,” Hamrick said.
He said he didn’t know what to expect when he walked outside. “When I first opened the door, it was just fully engulfed, flames 10-15 foot in the air,” Hamrick said.
