FlyDubai Plane Crash FZ981

A Boeing 737 has crashed near a Russian airport after circling for two hours.
It flew from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don, a four hour 1750 Mile journey, then stayed in the air for about two hours after a failed attempt to land.

The video footage in the BBC report clearly shows something coming down at great speed and at an angle of forty five degrees before hitting the ground and exploding.
