Global National: Dec. 25, 2024 | Azerbaijan airliner crashes in Kazakhstan, killing at least 38

[@icanpreptoo6673]

Trudeau doesn't need Trumps help to appear as an embarrassment to Canada.

[@62Cristoforo]

The crash debris evidence clearly shows damage from an external explosion, a missile attack, likely Russian in origin. How nice of Vladimir to offer assistance. He knows what he did.

[@littlelittle5]

It was a bird strike. Multiple birds.

​@@littlelittle5 you think bird strike leaves that damage and damege shown inside the plane before crashed. Also taking out all the control. Grow up.

[@azhyhama9649]

It was a bird. There is a longer video of the airplane before it collapses. Everything works except the engine stalls the airplane. The pilots do few nose dives to gain momentum before emergency landing. However, when the airplane touches the ground it spins and as you can see it's a rocky ground that explains the holes. There were no fire or damage seen anywhere on the plane before it crashes.

I am British living in Bina close too the airport many of my friends and nieghbores work for Azel including pilots and air crew. My heart is broken the pilots are true heroes of Azerbijan

[@greyjay9202]

Photographic evidence at the crash scene indicates that the E190 was badly damaged by a proximity-activated air defense missile, which sent shrapnel into the aircraft, causing explosive decompression, and damaging the hydraulic systems which allow the pilots to move flight control surfaces. The erratic behavior of the aircraft, after the strike, aligns with the evidence. The pilots struggled to control altitude, attitude, and speed by using engine thrust, and they did so with some success, an amazing feat. Air crash investigators have the two black boxes, and they will reveal much of what happened. The aircraft itself will be meticulously examined, and primary and secondary radar evidence will be an important element in the investigation. My own view is that somebody painted that aircraft on their air defense radar, and fired a missile at it, without first verifying what kind of aircraft they were targeting. The Embraer 190 was flying in an established air corridor, and sending out clear transponder signals. There was no justification or excuse for attacking it with a missile.

Stop harming kids!

[@kanishkatilak7706]

As if they are reading youtube comments? Stop being a show off at the expense of victims.

[@derek04151]

Russian military was operating in the area engaging Ukrainian drones when they accidentally launched a SAM at the plane, mistaking it for a drone because they're cement heads, and drinking on the job is not discouraged. The pilots diverted in an attempt to land the plane with engine thrust controls only, and limit ground casualties. I've recently found that information about plane crashes travels very fast among pilots. Much faster than in news agencies.

80% of the antibiotics used in N America are used in food animals to make them grow larger, faster. While the animals are supposed to be held back until the antibiotics have left the animals, they're often not. And the meat inspection is much easier than it used to be..most meat isn't tested. Not to mention all the antibiotic residue that ends up in the local water supply... Merry Christmas anyways!

Trump hates Trudeau, as most of us Canadians do, Pierre Pollievre would simply bend the knee to Trump.

[@edwardsmith7396]

Poilievre seems sleazy to me, sort of like Trump. The one good thing about Trump is that those whom he praises as "the best" in 6 month's time will be fired for being idiots. Hegseth, Gaetz, and Rubio are at the front of the line. Trump is already starting to dig a whole with his tariffs. I hope Doug Ford pulls the plug and cuts off Ontario energy to the USA. Take that, Donald.

[@dario7708]

this is shocked me and my cat

[@Progressive_Canadian]

Look, as a progressive 60-year-old who’s spent decades fighting for worker rights, unionization, and personal freedoms, I’ve seen how important it is to keep the focus on the core issue. For example, peace protesters rallying for veterans' rights or union advocates fighting for fair wages have valid, urgent points that deserve the spotlight. But when the media zeroes in on something like ‘Trans Rights for Veterans’ or ‘Drag for Unions,’ it can feel like the original cause gets diluted or overshadowed. It’s not that these groups don’t have valid struggles-they do-but centering their participation in unrelated movements can come across as self-serving and even counterproductive. We need solidarity, not distractions. Let’s keep the focus where it belongs and ensure every cause gets the attention it truly needs.

[@gasad01374]

If NATO shot down a passenger plane over Russia there would literally be nukes flying right now… theres a reason why Russia refused to let the plane emergency land in their country, that reason is because they shot it down and hoped it would crash into the Caspian Sea to get rid of the evidence.
