A plane used in the world's first live television advert has crashed in an unrelated incident, killing two people.
The crash, which happened in Spain on Friday – one day after the successful screening of the live TV advert – killed two of the eleven people on-board.
Aired on Channel 4 last Thursday at 8pm, the groundbreaking TV advert commissioned by Honda saw a team of sky-divers spelling out the company's logo during the three minute break.
Honda released a statement which said: "No one on the plane was in any way connected to Honda or with the company's advertising shoot.
"Honda extends its sincerest condolences to the families of the two people killed."
The Pilatus PC-6 plane came down in the province of Toledo, south of Madrid, when it lost a wing.
It burst into flames on impact just before 14.00 GMT on Friday, but nine people managed to escape the inferno, according to the BBC.
The Home Office confirmed that the oneof the people killed in the crash was a Brazilian-born Briton Alvares de Silva.
