Trump and his criminals are allied with Russia against the western democracies. This is the incompetent enemy nation Republicans have chosen to ally with against us.
Why would they fly in opposite direction from Grozniy? Why several airports deny them?
They claimed bad weather. But probably had to hide evidence of damage by air-defence systems.
Hi NBC. Please can you read the new educational book called ‘The Replacement People of the Bible’, and see what the rabbis and priests have been hiding for thousands of years about Prophet Muhammad being prophesied in the Old Testament. Also, how the Muslims got the West out of the Dark Ages, which the Western educational institutions are hiding from people.
It was shot down…had external damage to wings and rear rudder by a SAM missile hit…they flew it as far as they could with little control for almost a hour!! It was over Russia when hit!
That was no bird strike, I have seen video of the rear tail and stabilizer and it is full of bullet holes. It was shot down.
Not a bird strike — a missile strike. Rear of aircraft mostly survived; shrapnel holes clearly visible, all dented *inward*.
The internet is unfortunately full of Russophiles in the past 3 years, who see Russia as an avatar; a symbol of ideal manhood and womanhood, and the vicarious avenger of all that’s wrong (in their minds) in their own societies. No amount of evidence will convince them that Russia would ever do something immoral or wicked.
even in asia flightpaths make zero sense.
The plane was shot down the Chechen army is at fault
Russian did it, 2014 Malaysian Airlines, 2024 Azerbaijan Airlines
Every single day the mainstream news gives us more and more of a reason to neither trust them nor think they’re competent…good lord. A BIRD STRIKE?? 🙄 please…
Condolences to my Azeri brothers.
The famous Titanium Ornatus bird,a rare species that lives in the Caspian See area.
They can also fly as fast as 400km/h
Really dangerous
There’s a video on Aljazeera Arabic of a passenger filming inside the plane before it crashes. He is Muslim because he was praying in Arabic and he was one of the survivors because after the crash he was still filming and trying to help.
“russian aviation authorities said” /end
Shockingly bad reporting from NBC News here. It was shot down, likely from air defense over Grozny. Just unbelievable that NBC would quote “Russian Aviation Authorities”, when we all know that they always lie. Sounds like they did NO internet sleuthing… multiple videos showing shrapnel damage to the tail section, and even from the inside of the plane showing holes in the fuselage. This was NO bird strike. NBC spreading Russian lies. Are they the latest to be paid by Russia?
Pathetic how the news are not telling the truth https://youtu.be/xQEghJ8UVWk?t=370
Chechnya’s president War lord Ramzan Kadyrovs soldiers shot that plane thinking that was a drone attack, which their official press released failed drone attack by ukraine at the very same time when the airport refused to azerbaijan plane to land because of the foggy weather which was not! Airport told to azerbaijan plane fly to Aktau, KZ thinking that half damageg plane by Kadyrovs soldier would fall into Kaspiy sea so that way no one will find the real reason of the catastrophy! But Pilots and crew did their best and still managed to save 33 already passangers! Check the raw videos on youtube!
Pilates at it again! Merry Christmas!
walk away wow thats crazy God is real if your walking give jesus love people “+” let a gift
The horror
Pilot error
Explain the munition holes
0:46 That was NOT the flight route. It was shot down over russia by russian forces. Look at the damage on the tail of the wreck.
Thoughts are with the families
Did the pilot take the safe and e*ffective? Or was there doctors onboard who were about to expose something like the eight doctors who died on a plane crash of a commercial plane in Brazil this year and their lawyer who was not on the plane died at the same time.
Which Russian oligarch was onboard?
Easy to find a big weather discrepancy over Grozny from the “official” version, planes were landing…the rest is clearly just a cover up…that plane entered an active combat zone and was hit…
That’s karma, US will give Azerbaijan more financial and military aid in response to this.
is it boeing plane?

Was it coming from NK
Are missiles considered birds now?
what kind of plane?
Don’t forget everything russia says is a ly.
It was Special military bird strike operation arround Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan somwhere .
Check the plane manifest was some one important on board, Russia is at war
Bird strike? Lol. You mean little bullet shaped birds, right? The rear stabilizers look like they had a losing fight with anti aircraft fire.
Hi! Nbc! *HELLO Dear Friend’s FREEDOM WORLD’S PEACE PEOPLE’S!*

MSM is avoiding the real cause… so far.
An aviation expert here:
1. You can’t take the whole engine out with one bird. You need a FLOCK.
2. Even if an aircraft loses TWO engines, it doesn’t cause control problems. The aircraft can still glide to the nearest airport
The rear access door under the tail was open.
😊
Russia did it
It was the Russians who shot down this plane, the Russians also shot down the civilian Malaysia Airlines 777-200ER flight MH17 on the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur route in 2014, killing 298 people.
“PILOT BLOG” Azerbaijan E190 Crash | It was shot down over Russia and Crash landed in Aktau Kazahstan
What important person was on that plane?
Crash? More like it was shot down
Lol bird strike. More likely a SAM strike
This is unlikely to be a mistake, as it is impossible to confuse a small drone with a passenger aircraft. Most likely they wanted to shoot down and blame the Ukrainians in order to motivate the Chechens to go to war and turn Azerbaijan against Ukraine. Because if the plane had crashed on Russian territory, there would have been no survivors and no traces of shrapnel, only the Kremlin’s version. But not everything went according to plan. The plane not only crashed in Chechnya, but even managed to fly to the territory of Kazakhstan.
Innalillahi wainnailaihi roji’un
Lazy reporting. Why would they accept Russian statements?! All they do is LIE. ALWAYS.
We need to hear from the victims or will they be silenced???
Professionals have always said to sit in the back of an aircraft for a higher chance of survival in the event of a crash.
Telling the truth is not possible with the mainstream media……eye eye eye
I’m a 2011 plane crash survivor. 65% burns, 68 total surgeries so far, 2 amputated fingers on my right hand, a completely rebuilt nose, and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of physical, occupational, and psychological therapy. Each day is a blessing. RIP to all plane crash victims and their families.
Your looking good in your profile pic though! Good for you.
You call this reporting? I am far from an aviation expert but bird strikes shut down engines. Video is already coming out of the shrapnel holes in the remaining fuselage. Walter Cronkite is rolling in his grave. (and yeah, I realize he worked for CBS).
Shot down by Russia
Sabotage by Ukraine
We can’t trust on our planes. They’re old and all countries planes need to replace new engines
Russia shot it down.
Yes the plane was indeed struck by a Russian bird that fires anti-aircraft missiles that fragment before impact…
Surely. Any doubt is “liberal western propaganda….”……
Props to the pilots for managing to save some lives despite having been shot down. (theirs shrapnel marks in the tail from a russian missle. It was obviously them given that they were the first to release a crash report and tried to change the narative by blaming a bird strike)
Someone saw the recent movie carry-on it seems…. Wth this is creepy asf what bird strike
Sadly, 42 are now dead 💔
well will you look at that.. plane parts. guess jet fuel.. steel bea.. XD
Clearly not a bird strike it has shrapnel holes in fuselage and oxygen masks were dropped which only happens at over 10,000 ft… Not to many birds at 10,000 feet..
Those look like shrapnel holes in that plane. Looks like it was shot down by a Drunk Russian man.
Probably Ukrainian sabotage
I was blocked on youtube for telling the truth. I’ve said from the start that it’s a Putin bomb and at his request.
Russian air defense system. Russia denied the plane to land in any of its runways. It jammed the plane’s gps and redirected it toward the Caspian Sea hoping it would crash there so there won’t be any survivor to live to tell the tale. Unfortunately for Russia, the evidence of their crime remained intact.
About half of the passengers were survived,the pilot did a incredible job saving the passengers from death
Whatever was shooting at Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 (Embraer 190) was definitely under the influence of an extraterrestrial intelligence or, in this case, western foreign agency influence, which is something that the government of the country of Georgia has been recently trying to make more transparent in regards to many people who make money online from there.
Russians did it. Or are you so blinded with Russophilia that you can’t accept a Russian ever doing something 1) immoral/evil, 2) stupid?
That’s pretty crazy most planes do not survive that intact, incredibly lucky, probably very skilled pilots as well.
It was NOT AN ACCIDENT! Russia did it. It is a TERROR BY RUSSIA
The metallic shrapnel high velocity homing “birds” sure did a lot of damage huh?
😢😢😢🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
frankly. now these pilots and crews are true heros. RIP. love you guys for saving life asap.
May God bless the Azeris. Love from Israel my brothers❤ 😢 sending you our best regards. Like we say in hebrew “may you shall not know any further pain”.
Those pilots did everything they could to save those people. Rip to all involved and thanks to those pilots it couldve been worse
That’s a fast bird that can catch a jet and hit it in the tail and then fragment into shrapnel that then destroys the hydraulics. NBC and the MSM are a joke.
I don’t believe a bird can bring down a plane!
The Russians are to blame for all this and the Russians, if they or if the Russians had not opened fire on the Azerbaijani planes, this and all this would not have happened and the people would have survived.
They are liars and manipulators! Now they are blaming Russia, it is very clear that the plane fell without any impact and was not on fire, and videos of survivors from inside when the plane began to fail were leaked, you have no scruples. Show the evidence. A plane shot down by a missile with no fire
It seems to have been hit by a high velocity metallic shrapnel weapon. It wasn’t an explosive weapon like the missiles you’re imagining
Look at some of the other videos on this, you will clearly see the impact shrapnel holes to the tail section. No “bird” will do that.
@gsmith6026 No no no, it fell and exploded, show me the explosion of a missile, a missile is going to hit a plan with fuel highly flammable and is not going to explode nor is not going to get on fire, come on!
@@gsmith6026 The ones who started saying that was bird because of birds were western media, now they’re saying Russia down that plane
@@gsmith6026 that plane exploded when it hit the land, but show me the video of the explosion in the air, a plane with highly flammable fuel hit by a missile is not going to explode nor get fire, come on!
İt wasn’t birds. The plane was shot down by the Russian defense system. Russian authorities did not allow the damaged plane to land at any airport and directed it to Aktau.
Azerbaijan is not in central asia and the crew was Azerbaijani. So uneducated. Shame on you NBC
And no one knows what he will earn tomorrow and no one knows in which land he will die. Surely, Allah is All Knowing, All Aware. (Qura’n Kareem)
The Last Messenger of Allah, (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said, “Seek refuge in Allah from seven kinds of death: a sudden death, a snake bite, a predator, a fire , Drowning, something falling above or below, and being killed whilst fleeing a marching army.” (Musnad Ahmad 6594)
“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him, we shall return,”
Israhhelli propaganda
Russia is so evil… That’s a bird strike in the air with shrapnel on the tail end of the fuselage.
Everyone knows Russia can’t come clean.. they only know lying.
🇦🇿Azerbaijani civil plane that was almost at Qrozny airport was attacked while it was in the air!! When the Russian authorities realized this, they assumed that the plane would crash and did not give permission to land, and diverted it to Aktau airport via the Caspian Sea!. Their aim was to crash the damaged plane into the sea and make it disappear! As a result of the three attacks on the plane, shrapnel pieces injured the arm of one crew member and the leg of one passenger. As a result of the impacts, the plane disappeared from the radar and began to fly and yaw strangely because the hydraulic system failed. If you watched the videos of the plane, you must have noticed this. The desperate pilot contacted three airports, but none of them gave permission to land! Our pilot did everything he could and heroically managed to get the damaged, hydraulic-less plane to land! The crash was inevitable since the plane landed without hydraulic systems. The Russian government does not want to admit this incident and is trying to cover it up! Attacking a civilian aircraft is murder! Please do not let this incident be covered up!!
Балбесы перепутали дрон с самолётом
ALLAH RƏHMƏT ELƏSIN 😢
Russia must apologize. After ‘accidentally’ shooting down the plane in the sky, they closed all their ports to the plane. Their intention was to make the plane fly over the sea and force it to land on water so that the traces would be erased and everyone would die.
However, our heroic pilots miraculously kept the plane flying over land for about 2 hours before the crash, so that the fuel would run out, and then the crash occurred, in Aktau. I don’t know what people call this, but this is an act of terrorism.
The man that I had communicated with yesterday and this morning, was a Chinese or Close to it, was named, Artelois and was sitting in the seat 7B as in Birthday. I did indeed, ask him that as well.
