An air show in India gone wrong. The pilot and the co-pilot of an Indian naval aircraft died in a crash that took place while performing aerobatics during an air show in Hyderabad City Wednesday. Four others have been injured.

Media reports say the aircraft was unable to pull up from a dive and went into a spiral as the planes were breaking away from the formation and going in different directions.

The disaster struck when thousands of people were enjoying the spectacle at India Aviation 2010.

The trainer aircraft was part of an acrobatic team of the Indian Navy.

The plane is reported to have hit a cell-phone tower and crashed into a three story building, which partially collapsed.

The cause of the crash is yet to be determined
