A Laoag International Airlines Fokker 27 passenger plane, trailing smoke from its left engine, plunged into Manila Bay after taking off from the Philippines capital, November 11, 2002, killing at least 14 of 34 people aboard. This frame from amateur video footage shows the high-winged plane just before it crashed into the bay, taking off from Manila for the gambling center of Laoag, 400 km (250 miles) north of the capital.
