Two people described by police as foreigners fell to their deaths from an Air France aircraft before it landed in China's Shanghai Thursday noon.

An initial investigation showed the two crawled out of the plane's luggage compartment and fell from the undercarriage on flight AF112 from Paris to Shanghai.

The unidentified pair hit a house in Laoxiang town in Shanghai's Nanhui District.

Shanghai police started an investigation soon after the plane landed at the Pudong International Airport at 11:05 a.m., one hour later than its scheduled arrival. The police have still not identified the two foreigners.

The other passengers left the plane safely and the aircraft is remaining at the airport as the investigation continues.
