A U.S. pilot and four skydivers miraculously survived a fiery plane crash into a suburban Phoenix home Saturday evening.

    The four passengers bailed out of the plane safely after it began suffering difficulties midair. They were swiftly followed by the pilot, also a skydiver, who leaped out and landed in a field about 1.6 km from the crash site.

    The abandoned aircraft crashed into the home which burst into flames. A man and woman had been inside the home at the time were able to escape the blaze without injury, police said. Fire crews were called out to tackle the fire at the one story home which was gutted by the blaze. The next day, the mangled plane remnants were removed from the roof.

    The small plane had been carrying skydivers for the annual Constitution Fair on Saturday evening, according to police.
