The horrifying, fiery last moments of an American cargo jet that crashed on takeoff in Afghanistan were caught on a dramatic video that surfaced yesterday.

The Boeing 747 is seen stalling after taking off from Bagram Air Base, then crashing in a fireball, killing all seven US citizens on board.

The crash was videotaped Monday by a trucker’s dashboard camera as the jet took off en route to Dubai.

The plane is seen climbing before it begins banking and then plummets.

Four pilots, two mechanics and a load master — many from Michigan — were killed.

The Taliban claimed credit for downing the jet after the video went viral on the Internet yesterday.

But NATO authorities said that the claim was false.

The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a team of investigators to Afghanistan to determine the real cause of the crash.
