A fresh video claiming to be of the ill-fated flydubai aircraft crashing into the ground has emerged online.

The video -- a CCTV camera recording -- shows the plane emerging from the clouds and diving straight towards the crowd.

The authenticity of the video has not been ascertained yet.

The crashed jet, operated by Dubai-based budget carrier flydubai, came down in the early hours of Saturday at Rostov-on-Don airport in southern Russia on its second attempt to land after flying from Dubai. All 62 on board died.

The plane's flight data recorder survived largely intact, but the cockpit voice recorder - which should shed light on the pilots' final conversations - was badly damaged, leading officials to say initially it could take weeks to restore it.
