An intensely sad event unfolded as a large passenger aircraft, designed to hold 100 individuals, tragically crashed to the ground. Thankfully, amid this grim event, a few passengers amazingly escaped the catastrophe, with many considering it a miraculous survival on an otherwise disastrous Christmas morning.
The day’s events began with a chilling report concerning an Azerbaijan Airlines flight that had to repeatedly circle Aktau Airport in Kazakhstan. The plane, unfortunately, crash-landed after colliding with a large flock of birds.
The dramatic incident was caught on video by a group of shocked witnesses, offering a vivid account of the terrifying scene.
The footage revealed the plane speeding rapidly with the front of the aircraft pointed downward as it approached the runway.
The flight began its journey from Baku’s airport at 7:55 am on Christmas morning, destined for Grozny in Russia, carrying 67 passengers and a crew of five on board.
The aircraft landed upside down, tumbled onto its side, and then burst into a fierce conflagration. Miraculously, there were 27 reported survivors who were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent care.
Adverse weather conditions are also being considered as a potential contributing factor to this tragic crash as investigations continue to unfold.
