Dramatic footage has shown an Embraer 190 airliner, aka the E190, from an Italian airline taking off from London City Airport.
The aircraft, operating from London to Milan, was filmed in 2013 by YouTuber Topfelya during its takeoff.
In the video, the jet appears to take off like a rocket. It soared into the sky at a rate of knots.
As far as the takeoff of a civilian aircraft goes, that is one of the most dramatic we have ever seen.
