A late-night training flight ended in chaos when a small plane plummeted into the front yard of a suburban residence near Atlanta over the weekend.
The incident in Brookhaven, Georgia, sent all three passengers onboard to the hospital shortly after midnight on Saturday, according to officials.
Photos of the incident show the mangled wreckage lodged in a tree, with fragments dangling in branches and electrical cables.
Power briefly went out in the neighborhood, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. However, no homes were damaged and no one on the ground was hurt, police told Fox News Digital on Sunday.

Officials said the plane, registered to a local flight school, departed from Peachtree-DeKalb Airport late Friday. It flew 70 miles and returned to perform several “touch-and-go” landings, a standard practice for flight training, the local station reported.
The plane, however, struck several trees and electrical wiring before crashing onto a road, the National Transportation Safety Board told Fox News Digital on Sunday.
