The three people who were killed when a small plane crashed into a mobile home in Clearwater, Florida, on Thursday have been identified, police said Saturday. 

The plane, a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza V35, crashed into a residential area around 7 p.m. local time, sparking a fire that damaged multiple surrounding homes in Bayside Estates, a large mobile home community. Video from the scene shows a massive fireball erupting from the park. 

The pilot, who was the only person traveling in the plane, died. He has been named as Jemin Patel, 54, from Melbourne Beach, Florida, the Clearwater Police Department said. 

In the three-and-a-half–minute recording, the pilot who witnessed the crash can be heard trying to pinpoint the exact location of where the plane went down.

“He is definitely into a house, a whole house is demolished,” the pilot said. “I just saw him going down at an extremely high rate of speed.”

During a news conference Thursday evening, Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ehlers said that the fire spread to three other homes.
