hyderabad: An Indian navy plane crashed into a building during an air show yesterday, killing both the pilot and navigator.

The crew were unable to eject as the plane hit a residential area near Begumpet airport in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.

“The aircraft went out of control, but the cause of the crash was not immediately known,” said navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma.

The crash came after the plane dived while performing aerobatics, but failed to regain height.

The aerial display was part of the inaugural events of a week- long civil aviation summit that was attended by participants from several countries.
