Plane Crashes Into Lake Stevens Home | Seattle News

0:00It's September 8th. Welcome to Seattle News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. So picture this, Sunday evening, around 6 p.m., a dude named Cecilio Martinez is chilling at home in Lake Stevens with his wife and two nieces. Suddenly, a plane just drops out of the sky and smashes into his yard. The wing, he said, was just eight feet from their propane tank. Talk about a close call. Officers had actually seen the plane doing some wild maneuvers just before it went down. One guy mentioned hearing the engine cut out right at the end of a stunt. It sounds like things went south fast. After making sure his family was safe, Cecilio rushed to the pilot. He figured the impact was too much, but the pilot was actually moving and talking, though he was bleeding pretty bad. Its wild to think he survived that. Good news is, other neighbors jumped in to help too. They were checking his pulse, trying to stop the bleeding and generally doing what they could. Cecilio really felt the community stepped up.

1:00And honestly, the pilot is incredibly lucky to be alive after a crash like that. Authorities are still looking into what caused the plane to go down. The pilot's name hasn't been released yet, but the investigation is ongoing.
