Another witness, student Devon Bishop, told The Sun Online: “I was standing on the deck of my apartment and my girlfriend Alexis pointed out a plane circling before it took a straight dive.
“There is a private airport less than three miles from us so we suspect it was trying to land there. It was a small aircraft.
“When we noticed the plane falling extremely fast we could tell something was wrong.
“We couldn't see where it hit but there was a second pause of silence as our visual diminished behind the trees and then there was a loud boom. Moments after several sirens.”
Another witness told The Sun Online: “My dad pointed out a small jet in the sky and said ‘that doesn't look good’. I turned around, and saw it spiralling down.
“It was almost in slow motion. Went behind the trees and seconds later, a large explosion and so much smoke.
“A ton of police/fire/ambulances went by my location, and the smoke has not ceased.”
Officials are yet to confirm if anyone survived the crash.
