1 month after the destruction of the house at the aircraft crash, the Brooklyn Park family, which has rebuilt family from Schutt

Homeowners reflect on destruction a month after the plane crash

Ken Tobacman and Mary Butler looked at the monthly debris in Brooklyn Park through a windowless area and watched the remains of their house appeared in the ruins.

“So you look at the debris and it cannot be distinguished. And then you look at them and it starts to take shape,” said Butler on Tuesday.

“Every time we come here, I find another piece of debris that looks familiar,” added Tobacman.

The couple lived in the house in the house of the Kyle Avenue North for 20 years in the house in the house until it was destroyed a month ago when an aircraft broke in, shortly after the air traffic control had lost contact with the pilot.

The pilot, the 63-year-old Terry Dolan, was killed. In their last report, the investigators said that Controllers had recently heard of Dolan when she landed.

Tobacman and Butler offered Dolan's family in their first interview on the camera since the crash on Tuesday, when they pick up the pieces and work towards the reconstruction.

They lost their cats and everything apart from the clothes on their backs, but thanks to each other, they expressed themselves, their dog “Kaboom” and the many first aiders, family members, friends and totally strangers who, as they said, poured them with support.

Tobacman was in the house when the plane dipped the nose industry from the sky.

“I at lunch and heard a big boom and a crash, and the lights went out, a little flash, and I didn't know what it was. I didn't hear a plane,” he said.

“And I came around the corner towards the bedroom and I could see how smoke came back, and the little base bed on which the cat likes to sleep was in flames. At this point I knew that I had to get out.”

It was no time to grab shoes or a coat; He ran to ashes, just for the door as 20 years of memories – and the roof under which she raised two daughters.

“At that point, it was really clear that the whole house was gone,” said Tobacman.

“That only made me stunned. I just didn't know what to do. I mean, what do you do if everything you have is suddenly in flames?”

Minutes later, it found out after she had returned from a walk with the dog.

“It was nothing special when I came out of the house. Only here the plane hit, and I happened to be in the part of the house that didn't go up immediately,” said Tobacman and turned to his wife.

“Well, I'm still here and she's still here and the dog is still here.”

“In a way, it feels very much like a runny nose,” said Bulter. “… because all of these stories have not disappeared, but the ability to go through their house and physically touch this memory has disappeared, and this is a loss that deserves space for the grief that belongs.”

“It is not easy to lose your home and everything you own, and part of your life that is no longer there,” said Tobacman.

“But it is possible to continue, and fortunately we are in a position in which I think we can do it … it is just a hard job, and it takes a lot of effort, not only from us, but also from everyone around us.”

Her to-do list stayed for miles on Tuesday. The couple spent the weekend buying the essentials for their rental house.

They plan to rebuild in the place of their former home. It was estimated that the costs for the cleanup and the construction of a new house exceed their insurance protection limit, Butler said and added that it remains unclear how much of it is made completely.

The family has set up a gofundme page for those who want to help.
