Azza Air Transport B707, ST-AKW, crashed shortly after take off on 21.10.09 at 3.29pm local time killing the 6 crew members on the aircraft. It looks like the aircraft struggled gaining altitude and instead of crashing directly ahead in the city of Sharjah, the pilot crashed the aircraft on the right (north-east) in a desertic area close to the airport. Sorry for the bad quality of the pic, but the police pushed away every curious people driving near the site and just managed to shoot this pic with my 400mm at full length and had to even close up the pic. And due to the heat haze, the pic is not of good quality. Some parts of the aircraft are still visible, such as a possible engine and wing or tail on the left of the road and some more material on the right side
