Video shot by a witness showed two of the team's Canadair Tutor single-engine aircraft taking off. One of the planes reared up almost immediately before plunging to the ground, exploding just after the pilot ejected. "One member of the Canadian Forces' Snowbirds team has died and one has sustained serious injuries," the armed forces said on Twitter. Officials in Kamloops - about 320 km (200 miles) northeast of Vancouver in the West Coast Canadian province - said the jet had hit a residential home, sparking a fire. One of the team's jets crashed into an unpopulated area last October before a show in Atlanta, after the pilot ejected.
