Azerbaijan Airlines Plane Crashes Near Aktau, Dozens Feared Dead

(Delhi) December 25 : A terrible accident happened on Wednesday when an Azerbaijan Airlines plane with more than 60 people on board crashed near Aktau in Kazakhstan. There was thick fog where the plane was supposed to land in Grozny, Chechnya, so it had to change its path. Kazakhstan's Emergency Ministry said that a lot of people were hurt, with at least 28 people still alive and 42 people thought to be dead.  

Fog Forces Route Change of Flight

The terrible flight left from Baku, but bad weather in Grozny forced them to turn around and go to Aktau instead. Kazakh flight officials said the crash happened just before the plane could get to Aktau Airport.
