Russian Plane With 49 Found Burning In Far East Mountains

A twin-engine Antonov-24 passenger plane operated by Angara Airlines, carrying 49 people including 43 passengers and 6 crew members, crashed in Russia's far eastern Amur region while flying from Blagoveshchensk to Tynda. The aircraft disappeared from radar after attempting to land twice in Tynda, and its burning fuselage was later spotted on a mountainside about 10 miles from the destination by a Russian civil aviation helicopter. Rescue teams have been dispatched to the site, but local authorities have indicated there is no evidence of survivors. The region's harsh, snowy, and mountainous terrain complicated the search efforts. Officials have urged the public to rely only on verified information as investigations and rescue operations continue. This tragic incident highlights the risks of air travel in remote and difficult environments.
