ARVADA , Colo. — The owner of an Arvada home described the shock he experienced when he opened his front door to a fiery plane crash Friday morning.

"We heard like an explosion," said Hamrick."Then just a bright orange glow through the windows. I mean, we both looked at each other and the train derailed. That was the only thing we could think of. There are tanker trains that come through.""I opened that door, and the plane was fully engulfed in flames," he said.

The pilot tried to land in the street but the plane's left wing hit a large spruce tree, skidded down the roadway and veered into Hamrick's yard where it burst into flames. "Then they were all rushing in, saying we needed to evacuate the house. My wife's in a wheelchair. This is our only wheelchair ramp is on this side . So we were trying to make some kind of a plan to take her out the front," he said.
