What caused the azerbaijan Airlines plane crash? Preliminary investigation reveals
Baku: An azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane exploded during an emergency landing in kazakhstan on december 25, killing 38 people. 29 people survived. According to a preliminary investigation, the plane crashed due to technical external interference and physical damage, azerbaijan Airlines said.
The plane was flying over kazakhstan when it was hit by a bird. This forced the plane to make an emergency landing. The pilots decided to return to Aktau, kazakhstan, and make an emergency landing at the airport there. Accordingly, they informed the Aktau airport authorities and obtained permission to make an emergency landing.
Accordingly, the plane changed direction and flew towards Aktau airport. But before reaching the airport, the pilots lost control of the plane. Following this, the pilots struggled hard to land the plane safely.As a result, the plane struggled in the air. But it was not possible to land at Aktau airport.
Thus, the pilots tried to make an emergency landing in an open area 3 km away. Accordingly, the plane was heading towards the ground. But in the next few seconds, the plane suddenly fell to the ground, exploded, and caught fire. It became a black smoke zone with huge flames.
In this accident, 38 people, including 2 pilots, died on the spot. At the same time, 29 people luckily survived. The rescue team who rescued the seriously injured were sent to a nearby hospital by ambulance. They are receiving intensive treatment there.
While it is said that the plane was diverted due to a bird strike, it is also said that it was diverted to the city of Aktau due to bad weather conditions in the city of Krosny.The Azerbaijani government, which has ordered a high-level investigation into the accident, has sent an investigation team to the city of Aktau.
In a statement issued by azerbaijan Airlines regarding the accident, “37 of the passengers on the plane were from azerbaijan, 16 from russia, 6 from kazakhstan, and 3 from Kyrgyzstan. The Kazakh and Azerbaijani authorities are actively investigating the incident,” it said.
In this context, allegations were raised that a Russian missile test was the cause of the accident. russia denied this, explaining that the Ukrainian drone attacks on civilian structures in the cities of Kherson and Vladikavkaz were the cause of the problem as the plane was trying to land. ukraine categorically denied this, saying that it was russia that forced the damaged jet to cross the Caspian Sea. It saidthat it was mostlyblaming us for covering up evidence of their crime.
