IT'S every flier's nightmare.

You're in a light plane and your filming the scenery when it all goes horribly - disastrously - wrong.

The plane loses altitude, clips some trees and crashes.

This is just what happened to a  group of hikers in Idaho last month.

But when their single-engine aircraft went down they kept their cameras rolling.

The result is a dramatic sequence that shows the view of the crash from inside the plane.

Incredibly, everyone onboard escaped with relatively minor injuries. The pilot  was worst off, needing treatment for cuts.

The video was posted on YouTube earlier this week.

One of the air crash survivors wrote: "After flying up into the mountains for a hike in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness we were planning on flying to a small mountain town for dinner.

"Due to warming temperatures we had a hard time gaining altitude. After taking off we hit an air pocket that made us rapidly lose altitude, pushing us down into the trees.

"The cameras were left on for a couple of hours during the aftermath. Thank you to all the many individuals who eventually came to our aid and took the time and effort to help in any way they could."
