AN airplane crashed into a family home on Friday evening near an airport in New Hampshire, killing every passenger on board.
Authorities in Keene, New Hampshire have not yet disclosed the number of people who died in the horror crash.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, with footage showing the multi-family home engulfed in flames following the wreck.
City officials said there have been no injuries reported from those inside the building.
But they added in a statement: "Unfortunately those on the plane have perished".
The Beechcraft Sierra aircraft crashed north of Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport just before 7 p.m. Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN.
Residents have told of their shock at witnessing the horror accident.
They described the plane first hitting a storage barn area, which then caught fire next to a small apartment building.
Locals said their homes shook as the plane collided with the building, with eight residents able to evacuate in time while flames ripped through the home.
A tenant in the building, Robin Guimond, told WCVB: "It was very scary, I mean, I was sitting in the chair and I heard the big bang and then the house shaking".
Scott Gauthier, another resident in the apartment block, said: "I just grabbed what I needed to grab to be decent, got outside and looked up.

"The roof was already in. It already spread all over the roof of the back of the house."
The building's landlord, Wayne Brown, added: "It looks like the tree in the back you can see where the limbs broke off.
"They must have been having problems because the runway is probably a half a mile behind from the house.
"They probably hit the limb and it turned the plane on a 90 and it just drove it right into the barn."
Keene Police Capt. Steve Tenney said emergency crews were called to the home after the single-engine plane crash.
"At this time, we don't know about the occupants of the plane, how many there are," Tenney said.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
