Video footage shows the moment a passenger aircraft crashed into a motorway in Russia after it overshot the runway.
The footage, captured from a vehicle on the motorway, shows luggage and other debris flying from the aircraft and hitting other cars on the road as the plane smashed into the ground.
Louds bangs can also be heard as the plane impacted with the ground and the cars were hit by the wreckage.
Four people - the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer and a flight steward - were killed in the crash and another four seriously injured after the aircraft overshot a runway at Moscow's Vnukovo airport.
The Red Wing Airlines aircraft burst through a perimeter fence on to the motorway at Russia's third busiest airport.
Officials said the Tu-204 plane - travelling from the Czech Republic - was carrying eight crew members and no passengers. It broke into pieces and caught fire after crashing.
The passenger plane was sheared in two The cockpit of the aircraft was sheared off from the fuselage and a large chunk gashed out near the tail during the impact.
Witnesses told state channel Rossiya-24 they saw a man thrown from the plane as it rammed into the barrier of the motorway and described pulling other people from the wreckage.
The airport was closed after the crash and flights were routed to Moscow's other airports, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo.
Prior to Saturday's crash, there had been no fatal accidents reported for Tu-204s, which entered commercial service in 1995.
The plane is a twin-engine mid-range jet with a capacity of about 210 passengers.
Investigators said preliminary findings pointed to pilot error as the cause of the crash.
The billionaire owner of Red Wing Airlines, Alexander Lebedev, said the pilot was experienced, with 14,500 hours of flying time.
Vnukovo is Russia's third biggest airport The state news agency RIA Novosti cited an unidentified official at the Russian Aviation Agency as saying another Tu-204 had gone off the runway at the international airport in Novosibirsk, Siberia, on December 20.
The agency said that incident, in which no one was injured, was due to the failure of the plane's engines to go into reverse upon landing and that its brake system malfunctioned.
Russia and other former Soviet republics have some of the world's worst air traffic safety records - with a total accident rate three times the world average, according to the International Air Transport Association.
In April, 31 people were killed after a passenger jet crashed after takeoff in Siberia.
Another 44 people, including the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team, were killed when their aircraft smashed into a riverbank in September 2011.
