In the U.S., a private jet hit a power line in foggy weather and crashed into a San Diego neighborhood, slamming into a residental house and killing several people on the flight.
With the home engulfed in flames and jet fuel rolling down the streets, half a dozen vehicles caught fire in the neighborhood just before 4 a.m.
Six people were on board the plane, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Authorities were still combing the scene and recovering the bodies before releasing an official number and identifying the dead, though there were not believed to be any survivors aboard the flight.
Dave Shapiro, co-founder of Sound Talent Group, and two employees were among those killed, the music agency said in a statement.
Sound Talent Group has represented artists including American pop band Hanson, American singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton and the Canadian rock group Sum 41.
"We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends." the agency said.
No one in the neighborhood died, but eight were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and injuries that were not life-threatening.
The flight took off from Teterboro, New Jersey, near Manhattan, at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday and made a fuel stop in Wichita, Kansas, before continuing on to San Diego.
Based on the flight path, it was bound for Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport when it struck power lines about 3.2 kilometers southeast of the airfield.
