Saturday we reported the breaking news of yet ANOTHER strange plane crash, this time in the Brooklyn Park suburb of Minneapolis.
That crash was captured from multiple camera angles, and seemed to mimic the missile-like final moments of a string of similar crashes that have happened in recent weeks.
One video from a Ring Video captured the descent into the neighborhood from a distance:

In our initial reporting on Saturday, the only thing strange about this crash appeared to be that it was yet another small plane crash impacting at high speed from a nearly vertical nosedive.
The plane, a SOCATA TBM7 single engine aircraft, apparently impacted directly into a residence, which was quickly destroyed in the aftermath — also caught on video:

You can review our initial breaking news report here:
Initial reporting did not reveal the occupants of the plane, and only revealed that local authorities reported no one was inside the home at the time of the impact.
It turns out that someone was in the house, but escaped to safety.
But also today, there seems to be an added layer of strangeness to this story.
It is now being reported — though not confirmed — that U.S. Bank Vice Chair Terry Dolan is thought to have been the only person killed in the crash.
And Dolan potentially has ties — circumstantial in nature — to several issues currently on the radar of those looking for a return to justice and the rule of law in this country.

Those issues including a money laundering operation by Catholic Charities (of which Dolan was a Board member), a controversy surrounding that same organization’s attempts to thwart President Trump’s illegal immigration policy, and even so-called ‘Green Initiatives’ (which Dolan headed up for U.S. Bank).
U.S. Bank officials suspect that Terry Dolan, vice chair of U.S. Bancorp, was the victim of yesterday’s plane crash in Brooklyn Park.
While the medical examiner’s office has yet to confirm his presence on board, all signs point to him being on the plane.

I might not usually pay any special attention to the fact that a banking executive happened to be the person likely killed in this crash.
But besides Dolan’s circumstantial connection to the controversies I just stated, the recent slew of crashes seem to share a strange oddity. And whether or not it is happening more often, or simply taking up a greater share of the news bandwidth — it has me very curious.
It very well could be that all these crashes aren’t all that exceptional compared with any other time. I’ve seen the statistics as you all likely have, and the overall number of incidents is actually LOWER than usual.
The difference in these latest crashes that are catching headlines seems to be that they all happened in very steep dives, almost “missile-like”, as I’ve described them.
That could also be nothing; pure coincidence.
But it COULD also argue that there is a shared cause in all these crashes, creating that similar circumstance over and over.
The plane which crashed this past Saturday is registered to U.S. Bank executive Terry Dolan, and he is believed to have been piloting the plane, according to the local Fox affiliate in Minneapolis:
U.S. Bank executive Terry Dolan is believed to be the only person on board the plane that crashed into a house in Brooklyn Park on Saturday.
The plane is registered with Dolan. While U.S. Banks officials are waiting on official confirmation from authorities, they say it is believed Dolan was the person on board the plane when it crashed.
Dolan, 63, was named as the company’s vice chair and chief administration officer in 2023. He has been with the company since 1998, previously serving as the company’s chief financial officer and, before that, leading the company’s wealth management and investment services division.
Dolan’s position on the Catholic Charities Board of Directors definitely positioned him to be at least circumstantially involved (and maybe more so) in the controversy surrounding that organizations push back against President Trump’s immigration policy.
A recent New York Post article described the “fire” that Catholic Charities of Milwaukee was taking in response to a video published giving advice on how illegals could “evade US immigration law”.

Here’s that story from the New York Post:
A Catholic charity that receives billions in government funding has stirred controversy for a video teaching migrants in the country illegally how to evade US immigration law.
In the video, distributed by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s Refugee & Immigration Services Program, immigration attorney Barbara Graham outlines step-by-step instructions for how migrants can thwart authorities conducting lawful investigations at their workplace.
“Do not panic, and do not run away. If you are frightened and feel like you need to leave, you can calmly walk toward the exit,” Graham advised.
“If you are stopped, you may ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says no, do not try to exit the building. If you are questioned, you may tell them you want to remain silent,” she continued.
She further suggested that illegal immigrants should stonewall authorities by refusing to answer questions including where they were born or how they got into the US.
Here’s that video, in which Catholic Charities’ immigration attorney Graham stated that even those in the country illegally have RIGHTS, presumably ascribing Constitutional rights to illegals who came in to the country illegally:
While Dolan’s direct involvement in this situation is not at all clear, and can only be presumed at this time, the fact that he is the apparent lone death in yet ANOTHER strange aircraft incident — and sat on the board of Catholic Charities — is at least something to pay attention to.
I don’t mean to draw connections where there are none, but that isn’t the only connection to recent controversy surrounding the man killed in this recent crash.
There was also recently a $1.7 million fraud case against the former Financial Director of Catholic Charities — again, with Dolan sitting on the Board of Directors.
There is no way in my mind that the members of the board were unaware of $1.7 million in fraudulent activities being carried out in their organization.
Here’s some of the details of that story from the local Milwaukee ABC News affiliate:
Recently unsealed search warrants, obtained by 12 News Investigates, say Catholic Charities’ former finance director was “… stealing money from the nonprofit by fabricating ‘vendors’ and paying them with official checks.”
Police were notified of the alleged theft in May, the search warrants state. Then, investigators estimated the loss was more than $800,000. After months of investigating it is estimated to be roughly $1.7 million, according to the charity.
“The final amounts involved in this fraud will be known after law enforcement’s investigation,” said Very Rev. David H. Reith in an email to donors. “For fiscal years 2023 and 2024, when it appears the fraud was most active, anticipated losses are approximately $1.7 million.”
The theft dates back to 2016, according to the search warrants. It involved seven people in total, including employees and former employees. Catholic Charities says it fired those who were employed at the time.
The group’s then finance director, the search warrants state, created fake invoices, vendor names, and services to pay six others.
Some have begun to speculate on social media about the possible connections between Dolan’s death, and the controversies surrounding Catholic Charities:

The information page on U.S. Bank’s website includes a list of Dolan’s activities with the banking institution, as well as the organizations he has been associated with.
It includes his seat on the Catholic Charities Board of Directors, as well as his focus on economic development through ‘renewable energy tax credit financing’ — something that has taken a beating and cost a lot of important people a lot of money in recent years, as those GREEN INITIATIVES have been proven to be based on faulty science, and have often included fraudulent government schemes.
Though U.S. Bank has not been directly connected to any Green Initiative schemes that I know of, that’s just one more connection to controversy that many are paying attention to since Dolan’s untimely death.
Here is the text of Dolan’s bio on the U.S. Bank website:
Terry Dolan is vice chair and chief administration officer (CAO) of U.S. Bancorp. He became CAO in 2023 and his role includes oversight of corporate strategy, marketing, analytics, corporate social responsibility, digital capabilities and growth, public affairs and communications, and transformation.
Dolan previously served as vice chair, chief financial officer, as well as vice chair of Wealth Management and Investment Services, executive vice president and controller. He has been a leader in the bank’s focus on driving growth and digital transformation, and reinforcing its strong financial position, with returns on assets and equity among the highest in the industry. He has also been a leader in its community development work and investments in affordable housing, economic development and renewable energy tax credit financing.
He has been actively involved in numerous community organizations that provide services to the homeless, arts and culture, and higher education – including serving on the boards of directors for Catholic Charities, the Minnesota Opera, Artspace, The Minneapolis Foundation, the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. He currently serves as chair for the Killebrew Thompson Memorial board of directors. He has a bachelor’s degree from the University of St. Thomas.
These connections were also reported by the Fox 9 news outlet in Minnesota as they identified Dolan as the likely death in this crash, according to the previously referenced local Fox News affiliate:
Although Dolan is presumed to have been the pilot — and the only person onboard the plane at the time — that has not been confirmed, as USA Today has reported:
A U.S. Bank executive is presumed dead after a small plane registered in his name crashed into a suburban Minneapolis home in a fiery blaze, leaving no survivors onboard.
The Minneapolis-based financial services company said its chief administration officer Terry Dolan was believed to be on board the single-prop plane on Saturday.
“At this time, the medical examiner’s office has not been able to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was,” company spokesperson Jeffrey Shelman told USA TODAY on Sunday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday’s tragic incident.”
As I already stated, I do not wish to make connections that don’t exist.
But the circumstantial nature of Terry Dolan’s top position as a U.S. Bank Exec, his membership on the Catholic Charities Board of Directors, and the prevailing perception that these crashes have some unknown thread connecting them all warrant a closer look.
Hopefully, the FAA’s investigation will be quick and transparent, and whatever the truth is concerning this crash and Terry Dolan’s death will be revealed.
Until then, rumors and controversy is certain to keep swirling around these ongoing plane crashes.
This is still a developing story, and we will bring you updates as more information becomes available.
