Seven people were killed Saturday at an airshow on the English seaside, the local ambulance service said, when a jet attempting a loop plummeted and crashed into a road.

The South East Coast Ambulance Service confirmed there were seven deaths at the Shoreham Airshow.

"SECAMB confirm seven fatalities from the crash at the Shoreham air show today. Thoughts are with the families and loved ones," the emergency service said on Twitter.
