DRAMATIC dashcam footage shows the moment a plane explodes into a massive fireball while trying to make an emergency landing near Seattle.

Several vehicles were damaged but incredibly there were no serious injuries when the plane clipped a power line and crashed in Mukilteo on Tuesday afternoon.

Smoke and fire erupt in front of drivers following the crash – no one was hurt

The pilot took off from Everett’s Paine Field just before 3.30pm but began to lose engine power, Q13 Fox News has reported.
He told investigators that because he was losing too much altitude he attempted to land at Harbour Point Boulevard.
But the plane clipped some power lines and then hit a street light which ruptured a fuel cell.
The pilot and his passenger were not injured.

 

              

                

 

Eyewitness, Amanda Hayes said she and a co-worker ducked under the dashboard after their van was clipped by the wing of the plane.
She said: “We saw the plane losing altitude.
“It was rapidly losing maintainable altitude. I got more nervous and more shaken.
“We definitely felt the fireball as it went over the van.”
Power was out for the moments following the crash but it was soon restored.

Pictures show what was left of the plane following the crash

At least 20 people – including three babies – suffered major injuries including suspected broken bones in the carnage.
A video shows passengers lying injured in the aisle after they were hurled up to the ceiling.
The babies were thrown out of their mothers’ arms by the force of the severe turbulence one hour before landing in Bangkok, said a source.
Now the Moscow Transport Prosecutor’s Office said it will “oversee the implementation of laws on air and water transport”.
