This is the original video of the approach and crash in full HD. Please ask before using this video! Things to note whilst watching:

- Wamena airport is located in a valley at 5000ft, surrounded by towering mountains. There are no instrument approaches available. All landings must be performed visually.
- The My Indo Airlines 737-200 in the foreground is at holding point "Charlie" waiting for clearance to line up for departure. It is not in the grass.
- At 3s just above the "R" of "AIRLINES" of the 737-200 in the foreground you can see the 737 break visual through the clouds.
- The landing gear is fully extended at this stage.
- At 6s you see the 737 turn right and dive steeply for the runway before disappearing out of view at 9s.
- At 15s you can hear (with headphones on) the thud of the crash as well as see the man on the left of the screen run towards the runway.
- The main landing gear collapses on impact.
- At 21s you can see the left engine cowling being torn away as the left main landing gear separates from the airframe.
