This is the horrific moment a passenger plane hit the ground in a fireball in a Christmas Day crash landing in Kazakhstan.
There were 67 passengers and five crew members on board the Azerbaijan airlines fight from Azerbaijan capital Baku to Russian city Grozny.
Footage of the crash showed the plane bursting into flames as it hit the ground and thick black smoke then rising
The plane was in flames and broke into several parts on landing in Aktau, in western Kazakhstan. The country's emergency situations ministry said its personnel were putting out a fire at the site.
'At the moment, 14 survivors have been taken to the regional hospital, including five in intensive care,' the health ministry's regional department said in a statement.
Azerbaijan Airlines, the country's flag carrier, said the Embraer 190 had 'made an emergency landing' around three kilometres from Aktau, an oil and gas hub on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea.
'A plane doing the Baku-Grozny route crashed near the city of Aktau. It belongs to Azerbaijan Airlines,' the Kazakh ministry said on Telegram.
The Embraer E190AR with registration number 4K-AZ65 sent out a distress signal at an altitude of 2,125 feet over the Caspian Sea.

How tragic.
One has to wonder these days if it was an accident or terrorism and who was on the plane someone might have wanted to get rid of. Such is the condition of the world.
That was my first thought as well. Who was on the plane?
The first reports are that it was a bird hit that caused the problem. The pilot should be commended for crash landing the plane in a manner that there were actual survivors.
I know it is probably just my recalling a few major events, but it seems there is always either a major earthquake or plane crash on Christmas Day.
Dear Lord in Heaven
Prayers Up
Yes, let’s hope it wasn’t an attack on high-up or civilian Russians to force an escalation.
Mere tragedy would be a relief.
Not Christmas Day for them. They are mostly Muslim with some Orthodox Christians who celebrate it 2 weeks later, plus those who became atheist under Communism.
It has been stated that seven out of ten plane crashes are targeted kills.
Azerbaijan lies between Russia and Iran and maintenance on its civilian airliners has suffered from sanctions on parts and engines.
Video
Passenger on Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 sent a video to his wife just minutes before the crash
In the video, passengers are heard praying and some oxygen masks are already down

Sorry...not in *this* lifetime!
Azerbaijan is NOT sanctioned, they probably buy and resell many times their normal use rate.
The Neocons NEVER quit once they target (really create) an ‘enemy’.
Cartwheeled in. That broke up the fuselage. That separated some of the passengers from the fuel laden parts of the plane and opened “emergency exits” at each break. Some survived.
In other words, blame Russian incompetence again
(as usual)
“In other words, blame Russian incompetence again”
Actually, neither country is Russia and thus the Neocons are likely messing around in those countries, just as their doing in most other countries that border Russia. But still, taking down airliners again as they did a while ago in Ukraine - that should be off limits, even for Neocons. But, as we keep seeing, NOTHING is off limits for Neocons.
Plane probably contained someone who merely pointed out the fact that Russia is losing the War, so Putin ordered it to be shot down ...
just like he did with the Polish plane carrying the Polish General Staff 12 years ago
You Putin apologists are very intolerant of any criticism
You could fly the rest of your life on Azerbaijan airlines...
“just like he did with the Polish plane carrying the Polish General Staff 12 years ago”
Actually that Polish plane (that the Neocons shot down) was carrying officials who were fighting to maintain Polish independence from the Neocons and Globalists. You guys won that, I concede that, and with that, the Neocons had an easy way to operate in Ukraine, and thus, ultimately, put an end to Ukraine’s existence (in about a month or two).
Sorry Trump won, World War 3 would have been GLORIOUS. Right?
