Boeing Airliner Crash – Tatarstan Airlines Crash VIDEO Footage
Boeing airliner crash captured on cam. Shocking security video footage of a Tatarstan Airlines Boeing 737’s nosedive has been released, just as a number of theories about the circumstances and causes of the crash that claimed 50 lives are still emerging.
The Boeing 737 plane crashed Sunday night at its home port of Kazan, 720 kilometers (520 miles) east of Moscow as it was making its second attempt at a landing.
According to the Magomed Tolboyev, a highly decorated Russian test pilot, that it wasn’t immediately clear why the crew was unable to land on their first try in good weather, saying it could be linked to a failure of some of the plane’s systems or a crew error.
Report Update:
The son of the president of the oil-rich province of Tatarstan and the regional head of the FSB intelligence service were named among those killed when the plane exploded in a ball of fire upon hitting the runway.
There was one foreigner, a British national, among the victims.
Pictures showed charred wreckage scattered over a wide area, apparently taken after firefighters had extinguished the fire. Russian television broadcast a blurred video showing a bright flash of light. It also showed a photo of the plane’s gaping fuselage with firefighters in the foreground.
Boeing officials had no immediate comment on the circumstances of the crash, but issued a statement.
“Boeing’s thoughts are with those affected by the crash of the Tartarstan air company flight. Boeing is prepared to provide technical assistance to the investigating authority as it investigates the accident.”
