He knew that it was going down, and he found a perfect spot to land,” said Christina Galbiati, a neighbor who witnessed the crash. “So he went straight in between houses, which I imagine is a pretty hard thing to do.”<\/p>\n Courtesy: Pasco County Firefighters Local 4420 <\/p>\n “He landed right in between those two unfenced yards,” Galbiati said. “It takes seconds to make that decision.”<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Officials have not shared if anyone else was involved in the crash.<\/p>\n “We’ll pray for them and that kind of thing,” said Victoria Barrett, another neighbor who witnessed the crash. “But it’s tragic, and we’ll see what FAA comes up with the investigation.”<\/p>\n Galbiati said the plane sounded loud and weird when it went over her house.<\/p>\n “My kids were in the backyard jumping on their trampoline. They saw a low-flying plane,” Galbiati said. “I was in the front yard drinking coffee, and I saw the plane come around and thought it was very, very low, but everything looked mechanically fine. I saw the propellers spinning, no fire or anything.”<\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n Neighbors said this is a part of a pattern. FOX 13 reported\u00a0on a plane crash in the area in 2020.<\/p>\n RELATED: 1 dead after small plane crashes in backyard of Pasco County home<\/a><\/p>\n “This is our fourth crash in this neighborhood after about a few years,” Barrett said.<\/p>\n But it will not change their habits or decision to live here.<\/p>\n “It’s a nice neighborhood. We like it. We’re very happy here,” Galbiati said. “I think that things can happen and I don’t want to live in fear. So, I do feel safe.”<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this article was gathered from Pasco County Fire Rescue and interviews done by FOX 13’s Danielle Zulkosky.<\/p>\n Pasco County<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article Courtesy: Pasco County Firefighters Local 4420 WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – One person is dead after a plane…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2426,3738,8,9,11175,7,610],"class_list":{"0":"post-18310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-top-stories","8":"tag-crime-publicsafety","9":"tag-fl","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-pasco","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@news\/116435708927999584","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/plane-crash-4.jpg\")
