Devastating moment light aircraft crash lands into tarmac and turns into giant fireball killing two... but not the pilot
The crash happened in Iceland last year, with footage emerging this week
The light aircraft hit the runway as it banked, with no landing gear down
A
pilot made a miraculous escape from a plane crash in Iceland that
killed the other two occupants -- and footage of the incident has been
released for the first time.
The shocking footage shows the
aircraft -- an ambulance plane -- banking hard and at speed, with no
landing gear visible, above a runway in Akureyri.
It quickly
loses altitude as it passes the camera -- fixed inside a truck -- and
careers into the ground, creating a gigantic fireball.
A watching
member of the ground crew in the foreground is momentarily frozen with
shock, before he runs, with another man, towards the billowing smoke.
According
to Icelandic news source Visir.is, the captain and ambulance man, Peter
Robert Tryggvason, both died -- but the pilot, Axel Albert Jensen,
survived.
The exact causes of the crash, which happened on August 5,
2013, have yet to be found, but there is some speculation that it was a
fly-by that went tragically wrong.
