Huge sandstorm engulfs Phoenix airport

A huge sandstorm hit Phoenix, Arizona, on the 25th, and the images were filmed from Sky Harbor Airport. The video first shows a plane taking off rapidly, as if to avoid the oncoming dust cloud. Then, another sequence taken from the roof of the Terminal 4 parking lot captures the extent of the phenomenon, with reduced visibility and particle-laden air. The event illustrates the sudden violence of these sandstorms in the region.
