The Russia-bound passenger plane went down in Kazakhstan with the loss of 38 lives.

Summary

An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 of 67 onboard, with 29 survivors.

The plane was diverted due to fog en route to Grozny, Chechnya, before crashing 1.9 miles from the runway.

Speculation suggests a Russian air defense missile may have caused the crash amid heightened regional tensions.

Aviation analysts cite shrapnel patterns as evidence of a missile strike.

      Sorry, this is one of the latinisms my romance head can’t code in english. I will leave it like that because it is probably funny for native speakers.

        It’s funny, but not uncommon for native English speakers too, don’t be hard on yourself! Honestly I just thought your phone had autocorrected since they’re so close to each other.
