According to police, a passenger jet carrying about fifty people crashed Thursday in a remote part of the far eastern Amur region of Russia, killing everyone on board.
According to official media and investigator-released recordings, the aircraft, a Soviet-built twin-propeller Antonov-24, crashed in isolated, heavily wooded terrain, leaving a column of smoke streaming from the crash scene and no survivors.
Around 1:00 pm local time (0400 GMT), the Angara Airlines flight vanished from radar as it was traveling from the city of Blagoveshchensk to the town of Tynda. The plane’s smoking fuselage was eventually discovered by a rescue chopper on a mountainside covered by trees, approximately 15 kilometers south of Tynda’s airport.
An overhead view of the Antonov AN-24 passenger jet crash scene near Tynda, in the far eastern Amur region of Russia, is captured in this video grab. AFP Russian investigators released videos that showed smoke billowing from the accident scene and what seemed like pieces of the jet scattered over the forest floor.
According to the state news agency TASS, a search and rescue team that arrived at the isolated, difficult-to-reach location just hours after the accident discovered no signs of survivors. Investigators did not disclose the cause of the crash.
