About this video

Video images capturing the Sudan Airways Boeing 707 crash during take-off from Sharjah Airport, United Arab Emirates, on October 21st 2009 appear to show a falling object shortly before the jet came down. But within 15 seconds two frames of the footage show an unidentified object apparently dropping to the ground and, another 15 seconds later, the aircraft rapidly descending, in a steep bank, to the right of the departure path, and crashed. None of the six occupants said to be on board the aircraft survived the accident.
