A video showing footage of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache crash that took place in the mountains of Afghanistan last month has made its way onto the web.

The footage, captured in the village of Marzak, shows the helicopter flying low and fast over a U.S. outpost before pulling up, doubling back and descending sharply. After impacting the ground, the aircraft skids for quite a distance before temporarily jumping back into the air and flipping multiple times, narrowly missing bystanders in the process.
