Boeing 707 cargo plane crash that killed 6 crew members caught on airport cam
Investigators in the United Arab Emirates are searching for clues into what caused a Boeing 707 cargo plane to crash shortly after takeoff north of Dubai, killing all six crew onboard.
UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority is leading the investigation into Wednesday’s accident.
It had no details about a possible cause Thursday.
A spokesman for the Sudanese Civil Aviation Authority
More..says two investigators from the African nation are heading to the Emirates to take part in the probe.
Emirates officials say Sudan Airways flight 2241 from Sharjah to the Sudanese capital Khartoum went down at 3:31 p.m., two minutes after takeoff.
The plane was owned by another Sudanese company, Azza Transport.

That's what happens when you try drifting an airplane.

looked like a bad bank angle or done on purpose/suicide ?

Cargo plane? Could it have been overloaded? R.I.P.

probably lack of proper maintenance.

must be natural instincts to crash planes over there

A possible theory. It looks like it stalled to me which could be caused by ignoring wait restrictions.
Or it could of been a crap pilot who banked a fully loaded cargo plane at too steep an angle losing airpseed which resulted in the stall.

Obviously it's pure speculation, based on how grainy the image is, but if one pauses the 2 or three frames prior to impact, it sure seems as though the stalled side of the airframe is missing almost 2/3 of a wing
