A plane has crashed into a building near an airport runway in Phoenix, Arizona, a Phoenix fire department dispatcher said Wednesday.
One person died when the SR22 aircraft crashed while trying to land at Deer Valley Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Scott Walker with the Phoenix Fire Department told CNN affiliate KNXV the plane hit City Wide Pest Control, near the airport, at North 19th Avenue and West Deer Valley Road.
Video footage from the scene showed white smoke rising from what appeared to be a two-story building.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the fire said a reporter for CNN affiliate KTVK who was in a helicopter nearby when the plane crashed.

This story is developing. We'll bring you the latest information as we get it.
I figure someone will blame it on homegrown terrorism when it's most likely human error and a tragic accident.
It can't be good for you to fly around the smoke from a burning PESTICIDE Company. Anyone ask the helicopter pilot and crew if they breathed in any of the smoke ?
First of all I think its so stupid and ignorant to blame this on illegal aliens!! Accidents hapen every day!!!
I think it was a UFO alien. Of course I don't know his immigration status
I really hate it when these blogs are wasted on idiots who just want to talk to each other. These blogs are developed for discussion of the news stories. Nobody wants to read personal chatter.
Lighten up Joanie.....sometimes we need a chuckle or two
You guys make me chuckle and you guys are a bit ignorant. What hijacker would take over a tiny ass plane? The SR22 aircraft seriously?
U guys shld all shut d hell up. Immigrants hav dine a lot for our country America...the sooner u recognise dis the better. It was just a plane crash probably caused by a mech fault. God bless America.

OK....i must have you now Meghan! LOL
I'm glad my real estate wasn't near that airport. I really wouldn't have wanted to get killed in that crash. I'm sorry for those that fell.
Thanks for the info. It looks like they'll need an auto recycler. On a serious note, this is a shocking event. It reminds me of 9-11 except this looks like an accident. At first so did 9-11, but this plane crash most likely was an accident. If they were trying it again, they wouldn't go for an airport.
I think it would be a lot of pressure to be the pilot on an airplane. I'm sure it takes years of training. Do accidents like this happen a lot? http://www.neufamilydental.com
