This is pretty chilling to see such a large aircraft going down, and the reactions of the crew in the lead plane pretty well show their surprise. FlightGlobal does a good job of explaining the situation, so I'll let them do it:

Isn't it though?  A kind of slow motion meeting with fate...

Man that scares me to pieces jus thinkin about what was goin thru the crew's mind as that IL76 went down. Kinda reminds me of the Concorde going down.

Powered by a 330hp John Deere 6081H CNG fueled, turbocharged 8.1 Liter 6 cylinder engine connected to an Allison B400R6 six speed automatic transmission with built in retarder.
