The head of the local rescue service said the passengers and crew were very amazed at their rescue.
In Texas the plane crashed to the ground shortly after takeoff on Tuesday, but all 21 people on board survived. They had time to shout out of the machine before it flashed into flames.
Television images showed firefighters spraying water on burning machine debris in the field where the machine had ended up. It was a twin-engine jet.
The plane left Houston and was to fly to Boston. According to some reports, the plane had to transport fans to watch a baseball game between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox.
“[Matkustajat ja miehistö] were stunned, very, very stunned, but they all survived, ”said Waller Harris County Rescue Department director Tim Gibson.
“We are always afraid of the worst and hope for the best. Today we certainly got the best result we could hope for,” he said at a news conference.
