Five people have been rushed to hospital after a plane crash-landed in a parking lot of a suburban Pennsylvania retirement home.

Dramatic footage showed the Beechcraft A36TC erupt in flames in the parking lot of Brethren Village in Manheim Township.

Medics, ambulances, and emergency vehicles rushed to the scene in Lancaster County as flames engulfed the plane and nearby vehicles.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, an FAA spokesperson said five people were on board the plane. They have all been transferred to local hospitals with various injuries.

Residents of the retirement home were instructed to 'shelter in place' as a precaution as initial investigations took place, but authorities have confirmed the pilot avoided nearby buildings and that nobody on the ground was injured.

The aircraft crash triggered a fiery inferno and caused multiple adjacent vehicles to burst into flames between Fairview Drive and Meadowview Court.

The tail of the plane, brandishing the code N347M, is seen in the wreckage squashed up next to parked cars and surrounded by thick black smoke billowing through the air.

Didn't Philly just have a recent plane crash?

A Med Flight.

Things aren't going so well in PA.  There are too many 'incidents' lately.  No flights for me.

Flying is out of control.  We must ground All airplanes for 15 days to flatten the curve, then slowly allow flights to resume.

The pilot told ATC he needed to land because a door was open - stuck open, I suppose. He was cleared to land, acknowledged it, and crashed.

No shot. No fly.

But not fully until there is a vaccine for air crashes.

But seriously, this is exactly how we handled 9/11.
