Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash: Passenger captures moments of horror before and after mishap in Kazakhstan

An upsetting video from inside a crashed Kazakhstan plane has spread across social media. It shows the final heart-wrenching moments of the doomed flight. The plane went down close to Aktau, a hub for oil and gas on the Caspian Sea's eastern boundary.

Tragically, 38 people didn't survive. You can hear the passenger on the video shout "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) as the plane descends sharply. Yellow oxygen masks dangle from seats. Sounds of fear, sobbing, and the gentle ding of the "buckle up" signal fill the space.

The head legal office in Azerbaijan confirmed that 32 of the 67 passengers got out alive. They made a statement. However, they said, "We can't share any findings from our investigation yet. We are looking into all potential causes and carrying out required expert checks," according to Al Jaze­era. Azerbaijan Airlines declared a hold on all flights from Baku to Chechnya in Russia until the probe is done, according to the Russian state news service TASS.

According to Russia's flight regulator, initial data hinted that the pilots launched into an emergency landing after a bird hit. Aktau, the crash location, sits on the other side of the Caspian Sea from both Azerbaijan and Russia. In another online comment, a person stated, “The vide­o reveals how the pilots of 4K-AZ65, an Embraer ERJ-190AR from Azerbaijan Airlines that crashed at Aktau, trie­d their hardest to kee­p the plane airborne despite the plane's e­levator failing due to explosion damage.

Though they sacrificed their lives, they rescued 23 passe­ngers and two flight crew in the rear of the plane.” The airline introduced a hotline for relatives of the passengers involved in the downed plane. Kazakh officials said that a state committee would look into the crash. Committee members got orders to journey to where the plane fell and ensure the families of victims and those hurt receive necessary help and support.
