failure, not pilot error, but it's too early to tell. the investigation is just beginning. behind me you see some montgomery county police officers joined by officials with the faa and ntsb. we can take you up above some video onsky fox earlier this evening. this -- from sky fox earlier this evening. this was a 1954 beechcraft muskateer single engine four seater owned by the pilot who survived. the fellow pilot a flight instructor, a much older man was killed in the crash. this happened at davis airport just north of montgomery village in montgomery county. according to witnesses, the plane was performing touch and goes. i guess the new owner was trying to get familiar with this aircraft and he was landing, taking off, circling back, landing, taking off and that's when this crash happened around 7:00 tonight crashing into some woods at the end of the runway next to a residential neighborhood. this 1 witness we spoke to says he -- one witness we spoke to said i heard the engine fail.

>> at about 300, 400 feet above the ground made an abrupt backfire, whereas the engine's exhaust emitted a loud gang similar to a muffled gunshot. >> reporter: dennis stiles said he saw the plane land and take off again, the pilots unlikely aware the engine was experiencing trouble. >> then made an attempt to turn the aircraft around back to the airfield. the aircraft leaning the wing over like that and trying to bring it over, unfortunately what occurred was the aircraft did what's called a tip stall where the aircraft lost lift on one side of the ring, rolled over on its top. >> reporter: stiles says he ran to the crash site and found the pilot alive but injured. >> we didn't immediately identify the second person on board who was my friend because he was wedged in between the side of the aircraft and the person that was talking. we were able to locate him and

i approached him and he felt pretty lifeless and that the moment i realized that that was my friend who had -- i would never see again. i would never fly with again. >> reporter: of course, mr. stiles was able to identify to us the pilot who survived and the one who was killed, but the authorities have not. so we are holding back on their identifications. again the faa and ntsb are here now tonight, but they'll officially launch their investigation tomorrow morning. >> thank you for the update. severe flooding in d.c.'s bloomingdale neighborhood one week ago has now receded, but tempers are still flaring among neighbors who went looking for answers tonight. fox 5's laura evans is here with that story. good evening. >> it's been a very rough go for the people the past week who live in that neighborhood. we're talking about the area of first street and rhode island avenue. let's remind you of the scene last tuesday of that massive rain moved in. the flash flooding in the bloomingdale neighborhood was

so bad it swallowed cars, damaged homes and caused really bad sewage backups in several homes. residents who say they haven't gotten answers from d.c. water called the meeting tonight and a spokesman for d.c. water who was there explained that the sewer system in that part of the city is just very old and was built when there were fewer residents. also the neighborhood is just simply lying in a geographyically low lying part of the city. so it's prone to flooding. neighbors say they are still frustrated. >> when you're at home and your basement is flooded and you're having to fix all those issues and fight with insurance companies, certainly want to be sure you have a real concrete answer that makes sense. >> what we're here to discuss is a plan we have that's going to build giant tunnels to hold all that water until the storm passes. then it will pass through the sewers down to our waste treatment plant out of people's way. >> that's the plan. it was explained tonight it will be a 13-mile tunnel to

take that water from the bloomingdale area in the case of a flood to the blue plains treatment plant, but it will be several years before that tunnel will be built. >> i'm sure neighbors will be counting down. arlington police are praising actions of a tee boy who challenged two pitbulls mauling his father possibly saving his life. the dogs went on the attack as the 62-year-old victim tried to shoo them from his yard. fox 5's paul wagner has that story tonight. >> i took my little brother's shoe and the dogs still attacking my dad. i threw the shoe at one of the dogs and got down. they started chasing me. i ran like this. my car is still there and i ran here and then went over here. then i went back inside. >> reporter: one day after his dad was viciously attacked by two pitbulls alejandro morales described what he did to distract the dogs, getting him

dogs. >> one started charging the officers and they made a decision to open fire on him. >> reporter: the second dog was captured by imagine control and is now at the an -- animal control and is now at the animal welfare league. foronda said his neighbor has said nothing to him so far and fears the man is angry and will confront him about the loss of his pets. >> i get into problems with him now. i just want to live in pace. >> reporter: no one answered the door at the home of the dogs' owner earlier today. the animal welfare league in arlington says it's taking care of the surviving dog until they see the results of an investigation. arlington police say the owner of the dogs could be cited for not controlling his pets. so far no charges have been filed. in the fox 5 newsroom i'm paul wagner. now to a bizarre attack in fredericksburg. two young sisters are seriously hurt tonight after they were attacked by a beaver. it happened while they were
