A Beechcraft King Air C90GTi had a serious accident on Wednesday while trying to take off from the city of Cuiaba, in the interior of Brazil.
The aircraft, with three occupants, left the ground but tilted towards the aircraft apron and hit the left wing on the ground. The turboprop slid until it hit a hangar under construction.
A security camera video at the airport captured the moment the King Air left the runway and crashed into the building.
The pilot and an employee working on the site died, while the passengers managed to leave the aircraft before a fire consumed it.
