A single-engine Cessna 172 aircraft crashed into a building at Long Beach Airport in Southern California on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred during takeoff and landing practice, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The pilot, the sole occupant of the plane, escaped with minor injuries.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find the Cessna with its nose embedded in the structure, seemingly a hangar. Firefighters worked around the damaged aircraft, which came to rest atop the building.
While the precise cause of the crash remains under investigation by the FAA, images depict a dramatic scene with the plane's nose buried in the building's roof. Fox News Digital contacted both the city and airport authorities for further details. The FAA is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.
