Terrifying new CCTV footage shows the doomed Air India plane taking off and then plunging into the ground and exploding into a deadly fireball.
In the newly surfaced clip, the Gatwick-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner is seen accelerating down the runway before pitching upwards and taking flight.
But just moments later, the plane appears to lose control and is shown rapidly descending with a high nose angle and landing gear deployed.
The aircraft then explodes in a huge fireball upon impact, as a massive plume of black smoke is seen billowing out from the site of the crash.
Aviation experts say that the aircraft, which was carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons, may have suddenly lost power 'at the most critical phase of flight' after takeoff.
