It can be a bit difficult to make out, but this video from a surveillance camera captured the last few moments before that
USA Jet DC-9 crash at the Saltillo Airport in Mexico last Sunday. The video shows the DC-9 enter what appears to be a significant roll on its final approach to the runway. A bright flash near the aircraft suggests it may have clipped a power line before exiting the frame and crashing on to a nearby road. The impact explosion fills the screen with white light. Unfortunately, one of the pilots did not survive. No word on the state of the other pilot.
