Birds or a Technical Malfunction? Shocking Details Behind Azerbaijan Airlines Crash Revealed
The shocking crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 near Aktau, Kazakhstan, has left authorities and investigators scrambling to determine the exact cause.
The flight, en route from Baku to Grozny, was diverted to Aktau after a critical emergency onboard.
Early reports suggest that a collision with a flock of birds may have triggered the crisis, leading to a severe loss of altitude.
In response to the bird strike, the captain made the decision to reroute the flight to Aktau, but tragically, the plane crashed while attempting to land at the airport around 09:30 Moscow time.
While the bird strike is considered a major factor, questions remain about whether there was an underlying technical fault that exacerbated the situation.
