like a car accident
it’s hard to look away welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten shocking
plane crashes caught on camera before we
begin we publish new videos every day so

content for this list we’re looking at
the most intense and unbelievable plane
accidents to ever be captured on film
number 10
ILO Sucre flight 45 44 on December 20th
2016
I Otto Sucre flight 45 44 was making a
routine cargo delivery within Columbia
the doomed Boeing 727 had trouble
lifting off traversing the entirety of
the runway and then hitting a fence shed
and tree before finally lifting off by
which point the damage had been done
enough equipment had been compromised to
make it so that the plane could barely
fly or return for an emergency landing
it crashed soon afterwards eventually
killing five of the six crew members
excess weight may have been behind the
initial failure to take off but the
weight and balance manifests were never
found so the exact cause remains a
mystery
number 9 Ethiopian Airlines flight 961
before 9/11 this 1996 crash was the most
deadly single plane hijacking in history
as the Boeing 767 was flying from
Ethiopia to Kenya three Ethiopian men
charged the cockpit brandishing an axe a
fire extinguisher and a bottle of
alcohol they claimed was a bomb seeking
asylum in Australia they ordered the
pilots to fly there despite the fact
that the aircraft did not have enough
fuel for the trip the plane eventually
ran out of fuel near the Comoros Islands
and crash-landed in the ocean with 125
of the 175 individuals on board
eventually meeting their demise
interestingly enough we only have this
video because a tourist started
recording thinking it was part of an
airshow number 8 a first-person
perspective plane crash inside cockpit
after watching this video we can
understand why some people are terrified
to fly in small planes similar to our
number 10 entry albeit on a much smaller
scale this plane seems to have takeoff
issues and runs out of runway before
finally becoming airborne according to
the video description quote there was an
increase in density altitude as a result
of rising temperatures which made it
difficult for them to rise after gaining
a bit of altitude they attempted to fly
over a forest only to have the plane dip
back towards the earth where they hit a
tall tree and crashed hard bouncing
between trees amazingly no one died
although the pilot did suffer injuries
number 7 China Airlines flight 642 in
August 1999 this wide-bodied md-11 was
making a routine trip from Thailand to
Taiwan with a stopover in Hong Kong on
this day however typhoon Sam was nearby
causing extreme weather conditions other
flights had trouble approaching and
landing prior to flight 642 and yet
despite having loaded enough fuel for
direct flight to Taiwan they nonetheless
decided to complete the Hong Kong
stopover landing was uneven due to the
rains and high winds causing the right
side to impact first breaking off the
planes right wing and rolling the
aircraft onto its back the fuel caught
fire and three of the 315 individuals on
board perished this footage captures the
extreme shock of the witnesses number
six Asiana Airlines flight 214 in 2013
Asiana flight 214 a Boeing 777 arrived
for its scheduled landing at San
Francisco International Airport from
South Korea unfortunately approaching
the runway without enough speed or
height caused its landing gear to hit a
seawall just short of the tarmac as we
can see from this tower video the plane
spun around in the air there were only
three fatalities but another 187 out of
the 307 people on board were injured the
ensuing investigation found pilot error
and
over-reliance on automated systems to be
the most likely culprits and this was
the first Boeing 777 accident to result
in a fatality number five
Red Wings Airlines flight nine two six
eight it’s a good thing most Russian
motorists used dash cams otherwise we’d
have no video of this next crash in late
December 2012 Red Wings flight 9268 was
conducting a repositioning flight at the
Moscow International Airport due to the
snowy conditions and heavy gusts of wind
the plane skidded off the runway with
too much speed crashing into a ravine at
118 miles per hour breaking up and
spewing its pieces on the m3 highway
just ahead this cam footage shows us the
damage as it was just a repositioning
flight there were no passengers but five
of the eight crew members died as a
result number four Makani Kai air
single-engine Cessna failure in December
2013 this Cessna Caravan operated by
Makani Kai air was returning from
Hawaii’s Molokai Island towards Honolulu
when it experienced engine failure the
plane was carrying eight passengers and
the pilot and Ferdinand puentez had his
GoPro filming the entire event from
inside video shows the plane going down
for a rough water landing with the water
starting to enter the passengers
systematically grabbed their belongings
put on their lifejackets and evacuated
into the ocean holding onto the plane as
they waited for help while most
passengers survived director of the
State Department of Health for Hawaii
Loretta fuddy died from heart failure
she was also found to be wearing a
faulty infants life vest
number three trans-asia Airways flight
235 this ATR 72 600 was making a trip
from Taipei and Taiwan to Kinmen a
nearby island after takeoff engine 2 was
reported to have a flameout meaning
engine failure due to flame extinction
in the combustion chamber
the crew mistakenly shut off engine one
though which led the aircraft to lose
altitude during its fall it banked and
it’s left-wing made contact with a taxi
on wangan viaduct as well as the viaduct
itself before finally hitting the water
and breaking up dramatic footage of the
collision on the Huang dong was actually
captured by a dashcam tragically of the
53 passengers and five crew members only
15 people survived this crash number two
national Airlines flight 102 enroute to
Dubai from Bagram Airfield in
Afghanistan for a fuel stop this 747 was
up against steep odds due to the
conflict in the region it was standard
for planes to take off at a more
aggressive angle in order to avoid enemy
fire investigations suggest that
unfortunately this may have caused a
shift in cargo overloading the plane’s
tail and causing it to stall in dashcam
video footage
the 747 can be seen plummeting to the
ground exploding in a horrifying ball of
fire and gas that looks like something
out of an action film but sadly this
2013 crash was reality taking the lives
of all seven American crew members
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some dishonorable mentions

number one the September 11th attacks
there’s simply no plane crash in history
more shocking than this one on September
11th 2001 al-qaeda operatives hijacked
not one but four planes and managed to
fly three of them into the World Trade
Center towers and the Pentagon while
footage of the first plane hitting the
North Tower is limited there is plenty
of footage of the South Tower being
struck
there’s even security footage of the
Pentagon attack but it’s lower quality
it’s a collection of footage that the
world has watched over and over reliving
the horror in shock and disbelief
killing 2996
and injuring roughly another 6,000 the
9/11 terrorist attacks took more lives
than all our other entries combined do
