Libyan Mig21 Crashes in Tobruk

Moment ​Libyan fighter jet crashes into building caught on camera

Footage has emerged online purporting to show the moment a MiG-21 fighter jet crashes in a residential part of Tobruk, Libya

Three people were killed and nine injured when a Libyan war plane crashed on Tuesday in a residential part of the eastern city of Tobruk. The plane went down around half a mile from the seat of the country's elected parliament.

Footage appeared on YouTube today appearing to show the crash, filmed from a rooftop. The authenticity of this video has not been verified.

According to the Libya Herald, the crash happened during a military event to honour the pilot of another war plane that had crashed last week, residents said.

Both crashes are believed to be the result of technical failures.
