On Tuesday, a UPS cargo plane plummeted out of the sky and slammed into several businesses on the ground, causing a massive explosion.

At least 12 people have been killed after that plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday.

As the investigation into what happened continues, fresh footage of the moment the flight crashed has surfaced on social media.

Dash cam footage from a passing car driving near the area captured the frightening moment when UPS flight 2976 briefly took flight and exploded in a fiery scene near the Louisville airport.

In the footage below, the UPS cargo jet can be seen descending rapidly, hitting several power lines, before crashing on the ground and bursting into flames.

One truck could be seen backing out quickly from a tire business as at least two people took off running from inside that business.

Footage from one person on another aircraft showed the cargo jet already on fire as it made its way down the runway before it crashed.
