The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the National Air Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the crash of a Soviet-era fighter plane that crashed on Sunday during an air show in Michigan.
“The FAA’s first preliminary information: 2 people parachuted from a MiG-23 south of Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti, MI while performing at the Thunder Over Michigan air show. They landed in Lake Belleville. The aircraft was crashed near an apartment building,” the FAA said in a statement.
And video posted on facebook it showed the pilots suddenly exiting the plane as it flew over a lake where people were enjoying their summer weekend.
Later in the video, a cloud of smoke might be seen on nearby land as the pilots were being rescued by boats.
Photos obtained by NBC News showed the wreckage of the plane just yards from an apartment building.
No injuries have been reported.
