Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the Piper PA-25 took off from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines.

The plane is registered to Aerial Banners Inc., which is based at North Perry Airport. Employees at the company locked the front door to their building after the crash.

A view from Sky 10 showed the banner that the plane had been carrying on the ground in a nearby neighborhood.

this is a construction site/new pool. So maybe some of the debris has to do with that?

...there were tiles (sort of tiled-lineer) missing all ove, beyond where the PA-25 (not much bigger but a little heavier than a J-3 Cub) impacted the bldg. Construction makes more sense.
