Smoke from the crash could be seen for miles around.
“I heard the sound of a plane above me as if the plane was shutting down its engine,” one witness explained. “Then I heard a very loud explosion, the windows of our house started to shake so I opened the window and saw a huge cloud of smoke rising into the sky.”
Several vehicles parked along the street also caught fire. No other injuries were reported as the building was reportedly under renovation.
