At least one person has died after an aerobatic Canadian air force jet crashed into a residential neighbourhood.
Another crew member was injured when the plane hit a house in the city of Kamloops, British Columbia.
One pilot was able to eject before the crash on Sunday, video showed.
The Snowbirds jet had been on a tour “to salute Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of Covid-19”, according to the team’s website.
The Snowbirds perform aerobatic stunts for the public, similar to Red Arrows in the UK or the US Blue Angels.
