Small plane bursts into flames mid-air, landing on a couple's house
A couple were watching TV at home Saturday night, when a single engine plane crashed into their house in Glibert, Arizona. Amazingly, the pair have escaped unharmed.
Local police say the small aircraft was part of a demonstration for the annual Constitutional Fair, and crashed around 7:30 p.m. MDT Saturday night after catching fire mid-air.
It was a crazy stroke of luck for the skydivers on board too, who were left equally unharmed after ejecting from the plane before it crashed.
The pilot also ejected before landing, but was not so lucky, being transported for treatment after suffering burns.

Initial footage of the incident was captured by local young people in the area, who were understandably very freaked out by the dangerous and Donnie Darko-esque event unfolding before them.

Bystanders also captured footage of the skydivers and pilot, who landed nearby post-parachuting to safety.
Not something you see in the suburbs everyday.
