Four people have miraculously walked away without serious injuries after a crash at a US airport.
Footage shows a single-engine aircraft landing at Kalispell City Airport in Montana before veering off the runway and colliding with a parked jet.
The incident happened at about 2pm, triggering a huge explosion and a fire on the tarmac.
Flames engulfed both planes, with plumes of dark smoke billowing into the sky.
Ron Danielson manages a nearby inn and said he heard and saw the crash before the fireball.
He said: ‘It sounded like if you were to stick your head in a bass drum and somebody smacked it as hard as they could.’
All three passengers on board the plane and the pilot survived the crash, with only two of them being treated for minor injuries.
A preliminary investigation showed the pilot lost control, crashing onto the runway before the plane struck several parked aircraft, local police said.
The fire then spread to a grassy area alongside the airport before it was extinguished.
Kalispell Fire Chief Jay Hagen said the plane crash-landed at the end of the runway and careened into another aircraft, citing witnesses.
He said the passengers were able to get out on their own after it came to a stop.
Meanwhile, nobody was on the second plane that was run into.
