A SMALL plane leaving a regional US airport nosedived into the ground today and burst into flames so powerful that there was never a chance the four people trapped inside could survive, officials said.

Witnesses described a bloody and charred scene near Sioux Falls Regional Airport.

Officials declined to identify the four victims pending family notification.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro said the Cessna 421-C departed Joe Foss Field for Rapid City at 2.24pm.

Shortly after, the small, two-engine plane began experiencing problems and started circling back to the airport before it slammed into the ground, killing the pilot and three passengers.

Fire Chief Jim Sideras said investigators do not yet know what problems the plane was experiencing or whether the pilot radioed for help.
