The video shows the B767 speeding overhead before nosediving to the ground. A huge plume of debris and water can then be seen on the horizon, when it crashed into Trinity Bay. Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said: ‘you can see it exploded, not by fire’.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) had temporarily blocked the video’s release after police discovered it a day after the crash on February 23. The video is released 4 days after the NTSB recovered the Black Box of the B767.
