Horrific New Footage Shows Crashed Jet Engulfed in Flames As Passengers Scramble to Escape
This was such a horrible tragedy. On May 2019, a Russian jet was struck by lightning and crash-landed, killing 41 people on board.
But what I feel has been overlooked is the heroic efforts by the pilot. Looking at the footage, it had to take incredible skill to put the plane down on the runaway given the fact that it had been struck by lightning and then in flames.
Otherwise, it’s possible all passengers could have lost their lives.
