Boeing 737 Cargo Plane Crashes in Lithuania

News summary

A DHL cargo plane, a Boeing 737-400, crashed in Lithuania just one mile from Vilnius Airport around 5:30 a.m. local time, resulting in a massive explosion and fireball. Security footage captured the aircraft approaching at a dangerously low altitude before it suddenly pitched to the right and dove into the ground. Astonishingly, communication between the pilots and air traffic control was normal until the final moments, with no warning issued by the pilots before they went silent. The air traffic controller, upon realizing the crash, urgently warned other aircraft to abort their landings. While three of the four crew members survived with injuries, one was confirmed dead at the scene, prompting investigations into the cause, which may involve technical problems or even foul play. Experts are now analyzing the black boxes for further insights into the incident.
