THE horrific moment a plane crashes into a house and explodes in Ukraine, killing four people, was captured on camera.
Three American citizens died in the crash, along with the pilot, as the aircraft burst into flames upon impact following a "stunt that went horrifically wrong".
The residents of the house, including children, had a miraculous escape, fleeing the devastated building as a fireball ripped through it.
Dramatic footage shows black plumes emerging from the burning home after the aircraft plummeted to the ground near the village of Sheparivts.
Authorities were seen racing to the property as one shell-shocked homeowner filmed the devastation left after the tragic incident.
The four victims of the crash have since been named as Avrohom Fromowitz, Heshy Weiss, Lazer Brill – all of whom are Jewish American citizens - as well as pilot Ihor Tabanyuk, 60.
The group were believed to be visiting holy sites in Europe ahead of Mr Fromowitz’s wedding.
Early witness reports suggest that there is suspicion that the pilot had been doing aerial stunts moments before the crash as witnesses described seeing the aircraft attempt loops in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
Mr Tabanyuk, who owned a local airfield, was known for performing aerobatic stunts.
