2 Survive Small Plane Crash in N.J.

New Jersey State Police say a small plane crashed near Teterboro Airport and the two men on board, the pilot and a passenger, walked away from the fiery wreckage.

One man was taken to St. Barnabas Medical Center with burns and the other was taken to Hackensack Medical Center.

Little Ferry police say the twin-engine Beechcraft crashed while trying to land.

Police officer Adam Warne, who was among the first to respond to the scene, told CBS station WCBS he was taken aback to find the men alive and talking after the crash.

"They were sitting at the curb at the bus stop. Both of them were alert and conscious and answering questions," Warne said.

Warne said one man was "severely burned."

"The one who had more burns sat there and was in a daze," Warne said. "I saw the wreckage, they both said 'We were in the plane.'"

Police believe the flight had originated in Reading, Pa., and was carrying blood specimens for Qwest Diagnostics.

Federal Aviation Administration officials are investigating.

Teterboro is the same airport where a plane took off earlier this month before colliding with a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River. Nine people were killed aboard the two aircraft.
