Footage from a passenger inside the plane.

Heroic effort from the pilots who fought their damaged plane past 3 Russian airports which denied them permission to land, stayed airborne over the Caspian Sea which would have claimed all onboard and hidden the missile damage and then NEARLY pulled off a landing. Those that survived did so because of an incredible piece of flying.

Amazing job by the pilots but I’m still staggered at why they initially didn’t turn back to Baku as soon as it was apparent that fog would prevent them from landing in Grozny. Such a short flight and immediate turnaround is the protocol as a rule and shouldn’t be looking at a diversion

No emergency was declared, hence the lack of emergency vehicles on the apron.

Death toll up to 62
Why would it not be an emergency when it was the second attempt at a landing? Surely they knew the landing gear was an issue, hence why they were making an emergency landing?

There’s a lot that doesn’t make sense right now.
Even with no gear, that plane should have stopped well before it hit the embankment at the end of the runway. No emergency vehicles.
No evidence of flaps or spoilers being deployed.

Too much just doesn’t add up for me and that’s not to mention that the data doesn’t even match up with the footage and from those that know the airport believe
