Fire and rescue crews are working to rescue the occupants of the plane. Officials say that the plane needs to be secured, and the tower needs to be grounded to protect against static electricity and residual power, before the occupants of the plane can be extricated. 

As a result of the incident, Pepco reports that about 85,000 customers throughout the northern parts of Montgomery County are without power.

Montgomery County Police are asking people to avoid the area as rescue operations continue.
