A single-engine plane crashed into a multifamily building near Keene Airport in New Hampshire killing all those on board, police said.
"There were no injuries at the multifamily building. Unfortunately those on the plane have perished," Keene police said in a Facebook post on Friday night.
The police department said the Federal Aviation Administration had been notified. The FAA told CNN the aircraft was a Beechcraft Sierra which crashed right before 7 p.m. City Manager Elizabeth Dragon told the Boston Globe that the crash happened near Hope Chapel, however no one in the church was injured.
Video obtained by WMUR shows a large fire and thick black smoke coming from the crash site. Keene police Captain Steven Tenney told the outlet that police and firefighters had first responded to calls of an explosion and fire at the building and later realized the plane had crashed into it.
Tenney said it's still not known what cased the crash.
"We do know that it struck the building and caused the fire in the building," Tenney said.
Wayne Brown, the owner of the multifamily building told WDHD he is glad no one was in the building was hurt.
"I'm just sad for my tenants and (I'm) going to try to do anything I can to help them – that's all you can do," he added. "Buildings can be rebuilt – lives can't be replaced," Brown said.
Police did not release how many people were on board the aircraft or in the building.
