This is the horrifying moment a plane carrying parachutists plummeted to the ground in Sweden, killing everyone on board.
A teenage boy has revealed he watched helplessly as the circling jet made a strange noise before it nose-dived and crashed with a loud 'bang'.
Nine people died after the aircraft crashed into an island near the northern city of Umea, on Sweden's eastern coastline this afternoon, killing all aboard.
Axel Pettersson, 16, told Aftonbladet he was sitting on the couch at his home near Umea Airport eating when heard a strange sound from the skies becoming higher and higher-pitched.
Axel said he is used to the sounds of planes arriving and departing, but said the noise caught his attention as it was unllike anything he had ever heard before.

He rushed outtside and saw a plane circling and began filming.
He captured the plane's sickening final seconds as it suddenly began plummeting rapidly out of sight toward the River Ume.
He said he heard it crash with a loud "bang" then everything went quiet.
Axel said his pulse rose and he barely breathed, as he thought: "what the hell is happening now, what the hell is happening now, what do I do now".
He called for his parents who immediately alerted emergency services.
Authorities in Sweden said the plane had taken off from Umea Airport shortly after 1.30pm and sounded an alarm at 2.12pm.
Local police told Sweden's SVT reports of the crash came in about 2pm.
It crashed in the river near the island of Storsandskar, which is located about 2km from Umea airport.
A police spokesman said the small plane designed to carry parachutists had crashed into an island on the River Ume.
The plane crashed an area south of the airport, on the islandof Storsandskar.
