THIS is the terrifying moment a private jet skids across a runway and explodes into a huge fireball with two people killed in the blast.
The aircraft was reportedly attempting an emergency landing after a serious mechanical issue mid-flight but as it touched down at an airport it quickly burst into flames.
Footage shows the Gulfstream jet scraping along the runway on its rear wheels before violently bouncing and then erupting into a towering orange fireball.
The flight took off from La Romana and was headed to the city of Austin, Texas before the tragedy.
Emergency crews rushed to La Romana International Airport immediately., as the mangled wreckage of the jet was left on the runway.
Operations at the airfield located in the east of the Dominican Republic were cancelled as firefighters surveyed the scene.
