There are reports that a Blue Angels precision flight team member has crashed a plane during a show in South Carolina.
CNN reported that at least one plane crashed into a Beaufort, S.C., neighborhood. Several homes were reported to be on fire, according to CNN.
A man who said he was a witness told CNN that he was watching the show and there were six planes, then one vanished before he saw a black plume of smoke. He said he had watched the show for about 30 minutes before the crash.
Another witness, Gerald Popp, said he also saw a plane go down. He said there were thousands of people in attendance at the show.
The jets were flying out of Beaufort Marine Corps A.S., which is a military town. The Blue Angels were scheduled to fly in 66 air shows in 2007, according to CNN.
