Summary

An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 of 67 onboard, with 29 survivors.

The plane was diverted due to fog en route to Grozny, Chechnya, before crashing 1.9 miles from the runway.

Speculation suggests a Russian air defense missile may have caused the crash amid heightened regional tensions.

Aviation analysts cite shrapnel patterns as evidence of a missile strike.

      They don’t give a shit if you like them lol they don’t give a shit if they kill a billion civilians on a billion planes. In the end, if the greedy power-hungry fucks around the world end up being in charge of a radioactive rock littered with dead they will still be happy with the result.
