Drone footage captured the smoldering wreckage of a Boeing 747 cargo jet in the devastated village of Dacha-Suu in Kyrgyzstan on Monday, after the plane crashed into the settlement just outside the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek earlier in the day, killing at least 37 people.

All of the crew reportedly died in the crash. Some 32 residential buildings in the village were destroyed.
