It happened at a crowded beach and the video was from someone vacationing. There is more footage after the crash of people swimming out and rescuing others, pulling survivors from the water, pretty crazy stuff!
I saw a programme about that before. Plane was hijacked by some guys who wanted to go to Australia from Africa but plane didnt have enough fuel. The hijackers still wanted to go but the pilot attempted to crashland into the sea near land. A good few survived and apperently the main cause of death was drwoning due to people inflating life jackets before the crash, they could not swim down to get out so were stuck in the plane
Yes, it is a real plane crash that happened in 96 I think... It went down off a Coast and there was people vacationing and they seen it comin down and started videoing it and I think there was a few suvivors if I remember right.. It is a real crash though....
