Huge cloud of black smoke over fiery plane crash in Upstate New York

Video shows thick plumes of black smoke rising from a near-fatal plane crash in Jamestown, New York. Miraculously, both the pilot and co-pilot walked out of the wreckage alive. On the morning of Aug. 5, their twin-engine aircraft lost electric power and caught fire mid-air, shortly after taking off from Chautauqua County Dunkirk Airport and heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The pilot reportedly suffered facial injuries and was airlifted to the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo.
