    1. I work at worldport and was about to go in for my shift before this happened. Rip to the poor souls on board that plane.

    2. The sheer size difference of even half the plane making a semi look like a micro machine makes the size of this crash just baffling to think of.

      Geeze…but this view makes sense with the previous video. With the left engine apparently on fire, and losing thrust from it, this follows that impression, as the left side of the plane dipped and hit the ground.

    4. The news helicopter that was present there had panned over to the runway where it took off from, there was debris everywhere from the left engine that was on fire.

    5. Hate to be morbid, but I’m glad they didn’t suffer long.
      That’s a wild video to stumble apon

    6. I’m sorry, but how do you record a video of a video and still manage to move the camera too soon?

      Pilot here. Appears the left engine caught fire, departed the aircraft, and possible disabled another engine located in the tail. Aircraft was going too fast to abort the takeoff (already beyond V1). They didn’t have a chance. Just my preliminary observation.

      Those pilots were heroes. They tried to raise the plane as high as possible to not slam straight into a huge building of UPS offices. They essentially chose where they were going to die, and they found the least deadly way.
