GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year... WFMY News 2 turns 75! So to celebrate... We're opening the WFMY News 2 vault. 

On March 31, 2011, a plane crashed into a High Point neighborhood.

The small plane was on its way from Wilmington to Winston Salem but it diverted to PTI because of bad weather. 

As the plane tried to land... It clipped one house before slamming directly into another.

"I thought it was a car had crashed into the house initially. I was on the phone with 911. and then I realized as I walked and looked closer that an airplane had hit the house. I literally saw the airplane inside."

The crash started a massive fire that took hours to put out.  

Amazingly, no one in either house was hurt. 

But the plane's pilot and passenger died.
