Seven people, all US citizens, have died in a horrifying plane crash caught on video in Afghanistan.

The moment in which the aircraft collapses over a high-way has been captured on a dashcam.

*User discretion is advised when playing this video as it contains shocking, graphic imagery. The crash has been claimed as an attack by Taliban forces, but said report is being denied by NATO.

At this point, there is nothing to attest to the fact that the aircraft has been taken down by insurgents.

Huffington Post identifies the plane as a National Airlines Boeing 747 taking off from Bagram Airfield military base.

According to NYC Aviation, it was a cargo plane operated by US Mobility Command, and all those aboard were members of the crew. No passengers were on the plane when it fell to the ground.
