A private jet crashed into a restaurant in Brazil on Friday, killing all four people on board.
The plane, a Piper JetProp DLX, had taken off from the Criciuma Diomicio Freitas Airport in Capao da Canoa, southeastern Brazil at around 10.40am on Friday.
But the six-seater jet clipped a pole at the end of the runway and crashed shortly after.
CCTV images showed the plane crashing into the restaurant with its nose pointing upwards, before exploding into flames.
Pilot Nelio Pessanham and his partner Renan Saes died in the crash.
Two more passengers – Deborah Belanda Ortolani and Luis Antonio Ortolani, who worked as event management executives – were also killed.
The fire department said all four died at the scene and there were no other casualties.
In the footage a person appeared to be near the impact site but ran away as the plane crashed.
The restaurant hit by the plane was closed at the time.
A spokesman said: ‘The accident happened around 10:40 AM on Avenida Valdomiro Candido dos Reis, a residential area of the city.
‘Traffic was blocked in the surrounding area. The fire was brought under control.
‘In addition to the Fire Department and Military Police, teams from the city hall and CEEE electricity company provided support at the scene.’
It comes as at least three people were killed earlier this week in the central Mexican state of Puebla when a small aircraft crashed.
The plane crashed on Thursday within minutes of taking off – three people died at the scene while a fourth was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
