"It could have been way worse," said neighbor Javier Castillo. "If anything, that plane would have run into that house. It was just that close to hitting it. Just luckier than everything that it barely missed. Just a crazy experience."
The Cessna 421 took off from Hobby Airport Friday afternoon to San Antonio.
