Baku, December 27 Two passengers and a crew member aboard the Azerbaijani airliner that crashed in Kazakhstan said they heard a loud explosion when the plane reached its original destination of Grozny in southern Russia. Flight J2-8243 crashed in a fireball near the Kazakh city of Aktau after diverting from an area in southern Russia on Wednesday, where Moscow used an air defense system against Ukrainian drone attacks. At least 38 people were killed in this accident, while 29 survived. “After the explosion, I thought the plane was going to break into pieces,” said Subhonkul Ravimov, a traveler who was treated at the hospital. Vada Shabanova, another passenger on the plane, said, “I was very scared when I heard the sound of the explosion. Meanwhile, another explosion took place. Then the flight attendant asked to go to the back of the plane.” Both the passengers said that after the explosion, there was a problem in the oxygen level in the plane. Flight attendant Zulfugr Asadot said a landing in Grozny was denied due to fog, so the pilot circled and explosions started outside the plane. He said that meanwhile he heard an explosion from the left side. There were three consecutive explosions. These eyewitness accounts describe the tragic accident and what could have caused the accident. Azerbaijan Airlines suspended many flights to Russian cities on Friday, saying the airline believed the crash was caused by “physical and technical external interference”. However, the airlines did not clarify what the interference was. Four sources with knowledge of the initial results of Azerbaijan’s investigation said on Thursday that Russian air defenses mistakenly shot down the plane. was targeted Russia’s aviation watchdog said here today that the plane had decided to turn back from its original destination in Chechnya amid thick fog and local alerts over Ukrainian drones. Rosaviatsia said the captain was offered to land at other airports. – Reuters Post navigation Punjab News – Road Accident: A bus full of passengers fell into a dirty drain, many injured Earthquake: Earthquakes in Jammu and Kashmir
