Leaked images of the plane crash that left 49 dead, including children

Leaked images of the plane crash that claimed the lives of 49 people have begun circulating, showing the wreckage of the crashed plane and the magnitude of the impact. Among the victims were minors.

The crash of an Antonov An-24 passenger plane with at least 43 passengers and six crew members on board was reported this Thursday. Hours later, rescue teams located the aircraft's charred fuselage in a remote area, confirming there were no survivors.

The first images circulating in the media and on social media show the plane's wreckage completely destroyed, with parts of the fuselage charred and scattered among the vegetation. Rescue teams are swarming the area searching for bodies and belongings.

According to official reports, the plane belonged to the regional airline Angara Airlines and was flying a domestic route when it disappeared from radar during its final approach to the airport. Hours later, a rescue helicopter located the burning wreckage in the middle of a wooded, inaccessible area.

Emergency crews and air rescue units were working at the scene , confirming that all 49 people on board— including five children —died on impact.

Authorities have already opened an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. The main points include possible crew error during landing or a technical failure, as the plane was manufactured more than four decades ago.

The incident has raised questions about the state of regional aviation and the use of older aircraft on local routes, especially in regions where weather conditions are often extreme and airport infrastructure is limited.
