Chicago plane crash 2014 - Shortly after taking off at the Midway Airport Tuesday morning, a twin-engine cargo plane had crashed at the Southwest Side home. The plane's driver has been confirmed dead while the residents of the home, being an elderly couple, had miraculously survived.

According to reports by the Chicago Tribune, the plane's engine had already showed problematic signs. At around 2:45 am, the plane was scheduled to return at the Midway Airport when it had crashed into a home at South Knox Avenue. The Chicago plane crash 2014 occurred at the 6500 block of the Southwest Side home.

Details about the Chicago plane crash 2014 have already been released. The plane had reportedly crashed through the home's fron window before stopping at the living room. The tail angled upward damaging the roof of a neighboring house.

Residents of the said home were an elderly couple, aged 82 and 84. The couple was sound asleep in the back room in the incident of the Chicago plane crash 2014.

"A big part of the airplane was in their living room. I thought they were dead," says Luz Cazares, the couples' next-door neighbor, adding, "I ran to the back of the yard, I jumped the fence and I knocked the back door of the kitchen and she opened the door and I took her outside."

While the couple miraculously survived what could have been a gruesome death, the pilot of the plane did not experience the same lucky fate. Before the Chicago plane crash 2014, the plane had originally been set for Chicago's Executive Airport in Wheeling.

The Chicago plane crash 2014 involved an Aero Commander 500 cargo jet. Investigations regarding the crash will be headed out by the National Transportation Safety Board. Elizabeth Corey of the FAA claim it could take more than a year before results of the plane crash will be released.
