A jet crashed on Sunday at the Thunder Over Michigan air show, in an event meant to mark the air show's 25th anniversary.

The two people on board who ejected from the MiG-23 fighter jet touched the ground in Belleville Lake, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The cause of the crash remains unknown, as does the conditions of the pilots or if anyone in the building has been injured. An investigation is ongoing. 

A bystander named Marsha Bogardus reportedly witnessed the crash and took footage as it occurred. 

"We're on the water of Belleville Lake and we always come to the airshow," said Bogardus. "We heard these huge booms. I started recording and saw the two pilots eject. It scared my kids and everyone was freaking out. It dropped like a bullet straight down near an apartment complex we live by. Not sure where it landed."

Sheriff's deputies have closed down the roadways, and the rest of the show has now been canceled. 

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
