Crews examine and remove the wreckage of a double plane crash at the McCall Airport.

POST FALLS - One of the survivors of a deadly two-plane collision at the McCall Airport Friday is describing the scene – and talking about how he helped to rescue a toddler from the fiery wreckage.

Justin Mooney was the pilot of one of two planes that collided at the McCall airport Friday night.  An otherwise ordinary landing quickly took a dramatic – and deadly turn.

“We were about 30 feet off the ground and then all of a sudden there was just this huge noise," Mooney said.

Justin Mooney spoke about a deadly two-plane crash that claimed the lives of three people.

Holding back tears, Justin Mooney describes the reality of a moment most could only imagine.

It was cold and nearing dusk as he landed his plane at the small McCall airport on Friday night. At the same time, another pilot was doing the exact same thing.

The NTSB confirms that the planes collided in the air.

"Flames were everywhere, I said ‘we gotta get out of the plane!’," Mooney said.

Mooney and his passenger escaped the burning wreckage.  By the looks of the crash, Mooney said there appeared to be no survivors in the other plane, but then a glimmer of hope in the fiery wreckage.

"We got out and ran away from the plane and I heard some screaming - and I ran around and I saw there was another plane, there was smoke and flames everywhere and I saw a young boy trying to get out.”

Mooney headed toward the wreckage, and pulled the toddler to safety.

“I just saw this young boy screaming and I knew I had to help him,” he said. “I was able to get to him and pull him out, he was on fire.”

The little boy was the only survivor from the second plane.  His two siblings and grandfather died in the crash.  The toddler suffered third degree burns, and is currently at the Intermountain Burn Center in Salt Lake City receiving treatment.

"I just hope he pulls through and is able to live a normal life,” Mooney said. 

After the accident, Mooney says his life will never be the same again. He does not want to be seen as a hero for pulling the child from the wreckage, but he does have a request.

"Pray for the other family and hope they can make it though this, that's about it."

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are currently investigating the crash.

Aviation officials are trying to figure out exactly what happened and who - if anyone - was at fault in the incident.

The McCall airport is open again after being closed for much of Friday night and early Saturday.
