CINCINNATI (AP):
A plane carrying a wing walker crashed today at an air show and exploded into flames, killing the pilot and stunt walker instantly, authorities said.
The crash happened at around 12:45 p.m. at the Vectren Air Show at Dayton International Airport. No spectators were hurt.
A video posted on WHIO-TV shows the plane turn upside-down as the performer sits on top of the wing. The plane then tilts and crashes to the ground, exploding into flames as spectators screamed.
The names of those killed weren't immediately released, but a schedule on the event's website and the announcer at the show said Wicker was performing.
The show was cancelled for the rest of the day, but organisers said events would resume tomorrow. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating the crash.
