Horrifying footage has captured the moment at least two people were killed when their private jet crashed in New Jersey on Monday afternoon.
The Learjet 35 went down Monday afternoon near Teterboro Airport, killing both crew members. No one else was onboard the aircraft, which was coming from Philadelphia.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the moment of impact and then a huge fireball.
The plane comes into shot very quickly and slams into the ground at a nearly 90-degree angle.
A man can be seen running across the parking lot toward the crash site.
The video was released after it was revealed the plane was registered to a company called A&C Big Sky Aviation, which has a residential address in Montana.
The owners of the residence are Daniel and Julane Wells. They could not be reached on Monday night.
The FAA confirmed the plane came down a quarter-mile from the airport in an industrial area in Carlstadt, a few miles from MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands.
There were no passengers on board, authorities said, and no casualties have yet been reported on the ground.
FAA investigators quickly raced to the scene so they could be on the ground and attempt to determine what caused the deadly crash.
Emergency responders reached the scene a short time later and worked for more than an hour to extinguish the blaze.
The plane landed in the parking lot of Manhattan Door Corporation on Kero Road, destroying multiple cars and damaging buildings.
Joe Orlando, a spokesman for the town, confirmed no one inside the building was harmed. He said pieces of melted engine could be seen in the charred wreckage, along with wheels and part of the fuselage.
One witness told NBC 4 the plane 'flipped over completely' before it crashed in a parking lot near a group of warehouses.
Another witness, who works nearby, explained how the death toll from the crash could have been so much worse.
The worker told NBC 4 the plane plummeted from the sky just minutes before employees at the warehouses would have gone out to their cars.
Early estimates suggested about a dozen cars were consumed in the fire, which was largely contained within a parking lot, a third witness claimed.
Video shot from the ground by showed a column of black smoke rising from the crash site, with fire engines spraying buildings and cars as the fire continued to rage.
An hour after the crash, most of the fires had been doused and brought under control, but photos showed some cars melted and buildings damaged by debris.
Authorities also said that there were melted power lines due to the fire, some of which had potentially electrified fences.
Locals were told to leave the scene during the fire, due to dangerous smoke from the jet fuel.
The National Weather Service warned of strong winds of 15-25mph with gusts up to 45mph just before the crash Monday at 3:30pm.
But commercial and jet pilots are both used to gusty conditions, NBC 4 said, and if a safe glide is not possible they are trained to head back up until it's safe to land, they said.
The exact cause of the crash will not be confirmed until after the police investigation, they said.
Steve Case, an entrepreneur and co-founder of AOL, wrote in an Instagram post that the plane appeared to have missed a turn. He was aboard another plane at the airport at the time.
Prior to making the journey from Philadelphia, the jet had flown from Teterboro to Bedford, Massachusetts, early Monday morning.
Teterboro Airport has been shut down after the accident. It is commonly used to land private jets belonging to celebrities and local businesses.
Teterboro, which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, is the oldest operating airport in the New York City area. The busy site is the scene of dozens of takeoffs and landings each day and is a favorite landing spot for corporate and other luxury jets.
The airport was the scene of a midair crash that killed nine people in 2009, when a single-engine plane and a sightseeing helicopter collided over the Hudson River.
Twenty people were injured there in 2005 when a corporate jet aborted its takeoff and crashed into a nearby warehouse.
