This is the horrifying moment a New Jersey father and his former flight school student were killed after the small plane they were flying crashed into a Florida building and left the occupants running for their lives.
Pilot Eladio Marquez and his passenger perished in the incident took place Saturday 1.30pm at a Fort Lauderdale warehouse that housed an organization providing therapy to children with autism.
Video footage from a nearby electronics store surveillance camera shows the six-seater aircraft which took off from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport skidding along the road before bursting into flames on impact with the building.
A Cessna 335 reported a fire in the left engine before it crashed in Fort Lauderdale
After leaving Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport it hit a warehouse on an attempt to return to the grass strip during rainy weather and burst into flames
Shortly afterwards terrified groups of people - including children aged five to 10 years old - can be seen dashing away from the scene in the footage from H&J Electronics. ABC 10 reported six young people were involved.
Witnesses describe hearing the engine pop three times as it passed over them, before seeing a lot of black smoke.
Marquez, 51, and his Cessna 335 passenger were bound for an airpark in the north Florida town of Hilliard but they reported a fire in the left engine seconds after taking off.
They intended to safely return to the grass strip but for some reason could not make it.
The pilot is reported as telling air traffic control: 'We're losing power in our left engine, we turning right back.'
Eight Positive Behavior Supports Corp. staff and six autistic children were inside the building
However the adults' quick-thinking made sure the children escape safely fire rescuers say
Eight members of staff at Positive Behavior Supports Corp. and six children were inside the West Cyprus Creek Road warehouse when the accident happened.
Of those people one teacher at the school for autistic children sustained minor injuries as she led youngsters away from the inferno but she was not required to go to hospital.
Regional director of Positive Behavior Supports Corp. Claudia Axelrod explained how the roof began to collapse when the explosion happened but the guardians had no idea they were involved in a plane crash.
However the adults' quick-thinking made sure the children escape safely.
'They felt the building shake, and they thought it was a car that probably hit,' Axelrod said. 'Quickly, the door began to catch on fire, so they grabbed each child. The person in charge started to shout, 'You have this one, you have this one,' to make sure that everyone was accounted for.'
Pilot Eladio Marquez and his passenger perished in the incident on Saturday
Marquez was a good father and brother his wife, Belkis Marquez, said. The name of the passenger was not shared
Marquez, from the Dominican Republic, owned two planes and opened his own pilot school
It took the Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue Department until 2.30pm to extinguish the flames.
Battilion Chief Steven Gollan said the large amount of jet fuel on the ground made efforts more complicated.
The fire department said the therapy school staff are the real heroes after the sad event.
'Our condolences with the families of the two people that passed away today in this tragedy,' ABC 10 News reports Axelrod said. 'Our prayers are with you.'
The Dominican Republic pilot came to the United States where he took flying lessons, became an instructor and eventually opened his own flight school.
It took Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue Department and hour to extinguish flames
Battilion Chief Steven Gollan said the amount of fuel on the ground made efforts to put the fire out more complicated
Investigators are also looking into whether the small plane had work done on it recently
They said a 'mechanic who was involved in some sort of inspection' will be questioned
Marquez owned two planes, had been flying 12 years and instructed for 10 years. He was known as a family man, his devastated wife said.
'He was a good husband, good father, brother,' Belkis Marquez.
An airport manager told CBS 4 that the aircraft may have struggled due to heavy rain.
Investigators are also looking into whether the small plane had work done on it recently.
'We have interviewed personnel at the airport for fuel and who interacted with the pilot or the occupant in the aircraft in the day or two before the accident,' the National Transportation Safety Board's Tom Monville siad. 'We have to go back and interview another mechanic who was involved in some sort of inspection.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
