The mystery continues to deepen over what may have caused the fatal descent with an ongoing Secret Service investigation amid Russia’s alleged cargo bomb campaign.
Officials confirmed that the pilot died instantly in the falling fireball, with two crew members injured and one missing.
The 31-year-old Boeing 737-400 crashed into a two-story apartment building in Lithuania around 5:30 a.m. before crashing into the woods.
Terrifying footage of the last few seconds of the plane’s horrific crash shows it hurtling through the morning sky as cars drive past it on a nearby road.
The cargo plane, used by DHL, can be seen turning rapidly onto its side before crashing into a block of flats.
The sparks are immediately visible in the harrowing CCTV footage taken from a short distance atop a snowy hill.
A few moments later, a huge explosion echoes just a few kilometers from the Vilnius airport where the plane was supposed to land.
A devastating flash of light fills the security camera before an alarming cloud of flames and smoke begins to rise.
Then a huge ball of fire erupts as clouds of black smoke rise into the sky.
Several high lines of flames continued to tear through the capital of Lithuania.

An audio recording from air traffic control with the pilot released several hours later showed that there was no panic or warning as he approached Vilnius airport.
The pilot can be heard saying as he descended, “Can you confirm I’m expecting ILS, I’m not expecting ILS.”
The ILS – Instrument Landing System – helps pilots land safely in low visibility but was not needed as the plane, callsign Swift18D, was told to descend to 4,000ft and then 2,700ft.
He was then cleared to land before losing contact with controllers as he disappeared from radar and crashed.

Apparently, there was no initial information that would indicate an explosion on the ship.
Renatas Pozela, head of the Lithuanian Fire and Emergency Services Unit, confirmed one death and added that many residents had to be evacuated.
He said: “We are working at the scene of the accident. The first data show that the reported tenants of the house have been evacuated.
“The primary concern now is the crew of the aircraft – we confirm one fatality. Two crew members were rescued alive, and one is still missing.
“We were lucky that the plane hit the yard and not the house.”

Counter-terrorist teams are now ready to examine black box recorders as they seek to speak to survivors.
Concerns about potential Russian interference rose earlier this month when Western intelligence chiefs accused Putin’s agents of planting incendiary bombs on cargo planes in a dress rehearsal for airborne mayhem.
On November 5, agents were suspected of launching a “dry test” for attacks using magnesium detonators hidden in the crates of “personal massagers.”
The massagers contained explosives that would cause fires that could not be extinguished with built-in fire extinguishers, experts fear.
One of these devices caught fire in July at DHL’s freight terminal in Minworth, near Birmingham.
Another destroyed the contents of a shipping container after it exploded in Leipzig, Germany.
The exact spot from which the broken DHL plane to Vilnius took off yesterday at 2:08 a.m. this morning.
Putin’s pigeons are also suspected of sending fake packages to the US and Canada to test other routes for future state-sponsored “hybrid warfare” attacks,
Lithuanian army chief Raimundas Vaikšnoras warned earlier today that “our enemy is not sleeping” amid Russian claims of sabotage.
He said the military had “a lot of knowledge” about the crash – but would not comment until the investigation was complete.
Vaikšnoras added: “We provide the necessary help, for example, reverse data, look at navigation, where, what happened.
“But we probably need to wait until the black box is removed and then the aviation or disaster investigation commission will sort everything out.
“These provocations, such as blocking GPS signals, have happened before, and not only Lithuanian airlines or those flying from Lithuania are complaining.
“But maybe we should wait for the investigation.”
