A tragic aviation incident unfolded today as a commercial aircraft carrying over 70 passengers and crew members crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan. The full extent of casualties is still being determined, with conflicting reports about the number of survivors.
The Embraer E190 aircraft, operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, was initially scheduled to fly from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic in Russia.
