[arista]

[Children are among 32 people rescued alive
from the wreckage of a passenger plane
that crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day,
killing 38 people.

The Azerbaijan Airlines aircraft was
carrying 67 people when it hit the
ground near the city of Aktau,
sending flames into the sky.

The plane had been en route from Baku
in Azerbaijan to Grozny in Russia,
but was rerouted due to fog.

It's not known what caused the
deadly crash, which Kazakhstani officials
say killed 38 people.

Azerbaijan Airlines is suspending
all flights to Grozny while
the investigation is underway,
it has been reported.]

Evil Russia

[Benjamin]

It’s not a long flight either. But why was it flying in Kazakhstan?

[UserSince2005]

I’m working in the Caucasus next month. A bit worrying

No,
it crashed and landed there.

Before that, it was flying on a route
through Russia attacking Ukraine


SkyNewsHD just stated.

Shot Down
in Fog.

Russia Shot it down in error
it appears.

[Ammi]

…an horrendously tragic event…incredible that there are any survivors but obviously with some very serious injuries …the fog obviously is confirmed to have been a factor but not that there was any shooting down, I didn’t think…that feels like speculation at this point …

[arista]

[It is known the Embraer 190, belonging to
Azerbaijan Airlines, was attempting to land
at Russian airport Grozny, capital of Chechnya region,
which at the time was under attack
by Ukrainian drones.

The plane was barred from landing - with the official
reason given as 'fog'.

It is known Chechnya and three bordering
areas were under attack, and that a shopping
mall ignited into an inferno with a drone
strike win Vladikavkaz,
capital of Russian region North Ossetia.

[It is also reported from security officials
that Chechen air defences opened fire on drones,
striking and exploding at least one.
Questions have now been raised over whether
the plane was damaged by anti-drone gunfire
from the ground as it sought to land in Grozny.

Authorities in Kazakhstan said they had begun
looking into different possible versions
of what had happened,
including a technical problem,
Russia's Interfax news agency reported.]

…yeah I understand, Arista and it is something that’s creating speculation and obviously possible…but the significant parts of that article as well begin in the title which is questioning….’Did Russians shoot down…?..’….etc…because we don’t yet know but we do know that the media will speculate…

[arista]

Of Course Ammi
but Russia is not honest
we all know we can not trust them.

It appears it was shot down in error,
due to the Fog.


Some Russians have even confirmed that

Funny how Putin mourned those deaths but takes joy in bombing and killing babies, children, and mothers.

The russians are trying to say it was a flock of birds, but that isn't consistent with the damage done to the plane
