Four people have miraculously walked away without serious injuries after an airplane crash at a US airport.
Footage shows the 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.
All three passengers on board the plane and the pilot survived the crash, with only two people 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.
Ron Danielson manages a nearby inn and said he heard and saw the crash before plumes of dark smoke filled the area.
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.’
