Dramatic footage has emerged apparently showing the moment of the Wonderboom plane crash, which claimed two lives and left around 20 injured last week.
The video, which was being circulated on Twitter and Whatsapp, appears to have been taken from inside the plane by one of the passengers and shows flames coming from the left wing of the aircraft. Watch Video Here:

The 65-year-old Convair CV340 crashed in Wonderboom, Pretoria, shortly after take-off. It was on a “pleasure flight”, an aviation enthusiast said. The three-minute clip shows the terrifying final moments of the aircraft’s descent. “It’s getting worse. This is getting very bad,” one of the passengers can be heard saying.

“Why are we shaking like this,” asks another. The iPhone video, obtained by news.com.au was filmed by a passenger sitting by the left wing.
As the aircraft swoops low over trees and a man says, “They’ve got to cut the engine so we can reach the runway.” The final words, moments before impact, a man says (translated from Afrikaans), “Geez, this is going to be bad.”
The impact sounds like an explosion and the screen goes black. In the darkness, people call out to each other before scrambling to exit the aircraft.
