Gulf television has broadcast surveillance video footage of the Azza Transport Boeing 707-300 freighter, registration ST-AKW which crashed at Sharjah while performing freight flight SD-2241 from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates to Khartoum in Sudan on Wednesday October 21.

The video shows the 707 climb out normally though the actual lift-off is out of view 23 seconds in video). A large part appears to have fallen off the aircraft 11 seconds after the airplace climbs out of view (around 38 seconds in to video). The place re-appears in to view (around 54 seconds in to video) in a nearly 90 degree right bank i.e. wings vertical to the earth, before impacting in to the ground.
