Video: MiG-29 fighter jet spins out of control moments before crash near Agra

A video showing the Indian Air Force's MiG-29 fighter jet spinning out of control and hurtling towards the ground near Agra following a system malfunction has gone viral.

The aircraft began to wobble and lose stability, and before it entered a flat spin, a dangerous and unpredictable state where the plane rotates around its vertical axis while descending rapidly. 

With the aircraft spinning out of control, the pilot manoeuvred the fighter jet to ensure that it would crash in a field, away from populated areas and preventing any potential hazards on the ground. He then ejected safely and parachuted safely to the ground as the MiG-29 crashed into a field and burst into flames.
