A private jet carrying 21 people burst into flames during take-off in the United States.
The McDonnell Douglas MD-87 was departing Houston Executive Airport when the accident took place at just after 10am.
The aircraft reportedly travelled around 500ft down the runway before it smashed through a fence and caught fire.
All of the passengers on board managed to escape and two people were rushed to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The passengers were heading to Boston to see the Houston Astros play the Red Sox in Game 4 of Major League Baseball’s American League Championship Series, Guidry said.
The plane is registered to J. Alan Kent, who owns Flair Builders, a Houston-based custom homebuilder, ABC 13 Eyewitness News in Houston reported.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt Stephen Woodard said: “This is a good day. This is actually a day of celebration for a lot of people.
Waller County Judge Trey Duhon wrote on Facebook : “The information we have at this time indicates that the plane did not attain altitude at the end of the runway and went across Morton Road, coming to a rest in the field just north of the airport, where it caught on fire.”
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash, the FAA said.
