Horror moment Florida plane crash that killed two bursts into fireball
This is the horror moment a Florida plane bursts into a huge fireball after killing two - with the remaining passengers seen fleeing the wreckage.
Air hostess, Sydney Ann Bosmans, 27, and passengers Aaron Baker, 35, and Audra Green, 23, were caught on camera sprinting away from the plane that crashed onto a Florida highway as it failed to make an emergency landing at Naples airport.
The plane dramatically careered into the wall of the 75 near Collier County, killing its pilot Edward Daniel Murphy, 50, and co-pilot Ian Frederick Hofmann, 65 when the plane's engines failed.
A new video from eye-witness and motorist Kyle Caaliere revealed the frantic screams of the escapee passengers. As three people ran away Kyle shouted: "Is there anybody else in there?" A woman shouted back: "Yes, yes our pilots," a woman screams back. Asked if the pilots were alive, the woman said: “I don’t know. I don’t know much else.”
