Neighbor Jocelyn Mejia, 24, said she heard the crash from her home.

"I was already up, tossing and turning, and I heard the plane and then I heard a crash," Mejia told the Tribune.

"It's crazy. It's right down the street. I didn't think anything like that would happen, even living by the airport. We were really lucky. Everyone here is really lucky."
