Plane Crash Filmed From Inside Cockpit

Four people have had a miraculous escape after the small plane they were in crashed into trees - and the whole thing was filmed from inside the aircraft.

Those on board were heading up into the Idaho mountains for a morning hike at the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and then planning to fly on to a small town for dinner.

However, the warming temperatures caused an increase in density altitude shortly after takeoff and the plane was unable to get adequate lift.

It hit an air pocket and plunged quickly to the ground, crashing through the trees.

There were cameras in various places in the plane, including the cockpit, which meant the whole terrifying accident was caught on film.

Amazingly, all four men on board - the pilot, co-pilot and two passengers - survived, with one report suggesting the pilot had broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

The people involved can be seen wandering around and sitting on the ground looking shocked in the aftermath.

One man is lying injured on the ground near the wreckage of the aircraft with blood covering his face.
