How Azerbaijan Airlines pilots saved passengers while sacrificing their own lives
The plane, travelling from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Grozny, the regional capital of Chechnya, crashed on Wednesday while attempting to land after it veered toward Kazakhstan. The crash resulted in 38 fatalities, with all 29 survivors sustaining injuries.
Survivors, including passengers and crew, reported hearing loud noises on the aircraft while it was circling over Grozny before the crash.
The airline's president, Samir Rzayev, lauded the pilots' "heroism" and commitment to saving lives, stating, “While this tragic accident resulted in a great loss for our nation, the crew's courageous dedication to their duties until the final moments and their focus on preserving human life have made their names immortal in history,” according to a report from the Azerbaijani news agency.

Dmitry Yadrov, head of Russia’s civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia, stated on Friday that the plane, while preparing to land in Grozny amidst dense fog, was being targeted by Ukrainian drones. This prompted authorities to close the airspace around the city. Yadrov explained that after two unsuccessful landing attempts by the captain, the airline offered alternative airports, but the decision was made to fly the plane to Aktau in Kazakhstan, across the Caspian Sea.
