The video, taken from inside a passing vehicle, shows the plane flying overhead with smoke billowing from one of its engines. Within seconds, flames engulf the engine, spreading across the aircraft’s fuselage as it loses altitude. Eyewitnesses on the highway watched in shock, seeing the plane battle against the flames in a desperate attempt to remain airborne.
