The horrible incident happened in Akureyri, Iceland on August 5, 2013 and shows the exact moment a small aircraft, believed to be an air ambulance, comes tumbling down hitting the racetrack and killing two of the people on board.

The reasons for the dramatic crash are still unknown, but suggestions were that the plane was attempting to make an emergency landing and failed during the process or that it was a just a fly-by that ended terribly wrong.

In the video, you can see that the aircraft had quite the speed while trying to land and tilted to the left side just seconds before losing altitude and crashing, engulfed in a giant ball of flames and smoke.

From the three people on board, two died instantly but miraculously co-pilot Axel Albert Jensen survived, 12 years after surviving another similar and tragic plane crash. This man may have more lives than he knows but, hopefully, he will not waste all of them with plane crashes.
