Channel 11, a local TV station in the Bristol, Tennessee, market, obtained surveillance video from the Elizabethton Municipal Airport that reveals what happened to Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s plane right before it crashed off a runway in August.

The video only lasts for a few seconds, reveals the attempted landing and ends with an airport employee running outside as soon as the plane passes.

The JR Motorsports-operated aircraft attempted a go-around -- a second attempt at a landing -- but the Cessna Citation carrying Earnhardt and his family did not respond as expected, and the two pilots attempted to land it straight-ahead on the runway, according to the initial National Transportation Safety Board report.

At this point, the plane could not be stopped, bouncing twice and hurtling off the runway and through a fence, where it ended up just yards short of a nearby highway before bursting into flames.

Dale Jr., wife Amy, child Isla, dog Gus and the two pilots all escaped the plane with only minor injuries. Earnhardt raced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series the following weekend at Darlington Raceway.

A final report, which could offer a probable cause for the incident, might take years to produce.
