Filmed by chance by some construction workers, the Last Moments Of Flight 587 Before She Crashed Into Belle Harbor, New York. On November 12, 2001, One month on from 9/11, American Airlines flight 587, an Airbus Industrie A300-605R, N14053, crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbor, New York, shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York. Flight 587 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight to Las Américas International Airport, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with 2 flight crewmembers, 7 flight attendants, and 251 passengers aboard the plane. The plane's vertical stabilizer and rudder separated in flight and were found in Jamaica Bay, about 1 mile north of the main wreckage site. The plane's engines subsequently separated in flight and were found several blocks north and east of the main wreckage site. All 260 people aboard the plane and 5 people on the ground were killed, and the plane was destroyed by impact forces and a postcrash fire. Flight 587 was operating under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 on an instrument flight rules flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. More than a hundred eye witnesses reported an explosion / fire prior to the separation of the vertical stabilizer, indicating a severe problem existed before the crew lost control of the aircraft

I caught the same thing regarding the time. The only thing is, after looking at the end of the tape, it's possible that it was "the plane" because it did actually only take 2 min for the plane to come down, and the counter on this video is pretty close, even though the actual time is off by 45 min or so

Wow. That's scary. Knowing that so many passengers are on the plane and having their lives cut short tragically.
