The Kamaka Cessna 208 Caravan was on a training flight before tragedy struck.

Footage taken from a highway showed the plane careering before taking a dip.

It then plunged toward the ground, where plumes of thick black smoke were seen in the distance.

Then, there was a fireball, and the plumes became even thicker.

Witnesses told how they heard a boom as the plane smashed into the abandoned building.

I was working, and all of a sudden had a loud, one big boom, and I looked out, and there was just some freaking clouds of smoke, and my coworkers told me a plane crashed right next to our building,” one local told the CBS affiliate 

Another local, Nancy Timco, said she thought the plane was unusually low before the crash happened.

Two people were killed, and one of the victims was named Hiram DeFries – a private school graduate who was in pilot training, according to local media.

DeFries, 22, graduated from the private college prep school Punahou in 2020 and was working toward getting his pilot's license, as reported by the ABC affiliate KITV-TV.

Officials have not formally identified the victims on board the plane.

KGMB captured the pilot's final conversations with the air traffic control officers.

“Kamaka Flight 689, you’re turning right, correct,” the tower said.
