The air crash happened around 9am. The pilot parachuted to safety but his aircraft fell on a house in the city's Jinping District, setting off a big explosion.
One of the four people in the burning house managed to run out on his own. The other three were rescued and sent to a hospital for fire injuries.
An earlier CCTV report said the aircraft was a helicopter but others pointed out that helicopter pilots have no parachutes. The crashed aircraft could be a Jian-7 jet fighter.
