On December 20th, a Boeing 727-2J0F Adv freighter operated by Aerosucre of Colombia crashed while taking off from de Puerto Carreño-Germán Olano airport in Colombia. A group of spotters was watching airplanes take off from the airport and several of them recorded the accident and the aftermath, including the rescue of the only survivor from the crash. The aircrew aboard the airplane where 6 crewmen, of which 5 died inside the airplane and one survived apparently by falling off the wreckage as the airplane breaked apart and exploded.

Here's a compilation of videos from the failed take off, the attempt to return to airport while jetttisoning fuel, the crash and the approach to the crash site and search for survivors and identifiable parts of the wreckage (knowing it's a freighter, all crew would be in the fore of the fuselage, away from the wings and engines engulfed in flames).
