A small plane that departed from Des Moines, Iowa, crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park (near Minneapolis), Minnesota, on Saturday. The aircraft reportedly had Terry Dolan, the Vice Chair of US Bank, and a few others on board.

According to NBC, a spokesperson for US Bank confirmed that the plane was registered to Dolan, who also serves as the company's Chief Administration Officer. NBC further reported that there were no survivors from the crash. While US Bank stated that they had yet to confirm Dolan's presence on the flight, they believe he was on board.

The bank released a statement indicating, "We are aware that the plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park on Saturday afternoon was registered to Terry Dolan, our vice chair and chief administration officer. At this time, the medical examiner's office has not been able to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday's tragic incident. We are grateful that there were no injuries to the residents of the home impacted by the crash, and we thank all the first responders for their service."

In February, USA Today reported that the United States has experienced 94 aviation accidents in 2025, with 63 incidents in January and 31 in February. The crash on Saturday was not the first to occur this year in a residential area; in January, a plane went down in the Castor Gardens neighborhood of Philadelphia, killing six people and injuring 24 others on the ground.

Many attribute the increase in plane crashes in the U.S. this year to the changes made to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by the Trump administration, which led to the dismissal of several hundred FAA employees. According to various media outlets, the FAA has lost officials responsible for managing radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, and air traffic control.
