A wing walker plane was in the midst of a performance on Stearman biplane with it suddenly fell to the ground, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Lynn Lunsford, who spoke with WHIO.
It spiraled down into a firey crash, bursting into flames in a patch of grass sandwiched between two runways at the Vectren Dayton Air Show in Ohio.
A video shot at the site of the explosion depicts the plane enveloped in a burning mass after it struck the ground.

The wing walker Jane Wicker balanced on the plane as it shot forward at 110 miles per hour, according to CNN.

Mere seconds later, the crowd witnessed the crash-and cheers suddenly became screams of horror.
