LEGOTM enthusiasts: This weekend’s for you!Azerbaijan blames 'external interference' from Russia for plane crash that killed 38 - as flight attendant reveals how he sustained shrapnel wound from Russian missile By JAMES REYNOLDS and WILL STEWART Published: 16:27 GMT, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 16:54 GMT, 27 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Azerbaijan has found that 'external interference' was responsible for the fatal crash of Flight J2-8432 on Christmas Day amid a preliminary investigation and claims Russia downed the plane with a surface-to-air missile before trying to cover it up. 'Based on the opinion of experts and on the words of eyewitnesses, it can be concluded that there was external interference,' Azerbaijani's transport minister, Rashad Nabiyev, told reporters. 'It is necessary to find out from what kind of weapon,' he added, citing reports from survivors of hearing 'three explosions' as the plane was over Grozny. The development in the tragic story of Wednesday's crash, which killed 38, came as a flight attendant on the stricken plane revealed he sustained a shrapnel wound as explosions outside rocked the doomed flight near Russia. Crash survivor Zulfugar Asadov gave an extraordinary account of the flight, which crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day, killing 38. Mr Asadov - who was convinced he had died in the crash - said that he was 'cut on the arm by an impact that occurred outside the plane' after the plane aborted its attempts to land in Grozny, Russia, citing poor weather. 'I grabbed a towel, bandaged my arm tightly, and [colleague] Aydan [Ragimli] helped me,' he said. 'We continued the flight.' The flight attendant revealed that the pilot had sought to make an emergency landing in the Caspian 'because the aircraft's engine was malfunctioning', but changed his mind and carried on towards Kazakhstan, fearing for the safety of passengers. He spoke amid chilling accusations that Russia mistakenly targeted the plane with a surface-to-air missile, and then sought to block it from landing on its territory in the expectation it would sink in the Caspian Sea. Two hero pilots guided the plane across the sea and towards Aktau, Kazakhstan before crash landing, miraculously saving the lives of more than two dozen of the 67 on board. As Azeri and Kazakh investigators probe the cause of the crash, an Azeri government source told Reuters that while 'no one claims that it was done on purpose', Baku 'expects the Russian side to confess to the shooting down of the Azerbaijani aircraft'. Zulfugar Asadov, a flight attendant on the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan, speaks during an interview with Reuters as he receives treatment at a hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan, December 27, 2024 Your browser does not support iframes. An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer E190AR crashes during an emergency landing in Aktau, western Kazakhstan on 25 December 2024 Shrapnel-like holes seen on the plane from a window before the crash In a detailed interview with local media, Mr Asadov described how the crew approached Grozny to find the airport 'covered in very thick fog'. 'The captain began descending but had to abort the landing and circle around due to poor visibility, hoping the fog would clear. 'However, the second and third landing attempts also failed.' The pilot decided to head to the nearest airport, he said. 'But at that moment, we heard a strange noise coming from outside the plane. I immediately went into the cabin with my female colleague Aydan Ragimli. 'We saw panic spreading among the passengers.' 'The pilot had just lifted the plan up when I heard a bang from the left wing. There were three bangs,' he told Reuters from hospital. They sought to calm those on board - but then he was wounded by a sudden left arm injury. 'We reassured the passengers, telling them there was no need to worry, that everything was fine, and asked them to stay in their seats and fasten their seatbelts,' he said. 'At that moment, I was cut on the arm by an impact that occurred outside the plane.' Mr Asadov pushed back on Russian reports that an oxygen cylinder on board had exploded. 'This is not true,' he said. 'If something had happened to the oxygen cylinder, the plane would have been torn apart. The information that a gas cylinder was brought on board is also false.' This coincides with passenger accounts that there was an explosion near - but outside - the aircraft. Two passengers and one crew member on the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan told Reuters that they heard at least one loud bang as it approached its original destination of Grozny in southern Russia. 'After the bang...I thought the plane was going to fall apart,' Subhonkul Rakhimov, one of the passengers, told Reuters from hospital. He said he had begun to recite prayers and prepare for the end after hearing the bang. 'It was obvious that the plane had been damaged in some way,' he said. 'It was as if it was drunk - not the same plane anymore.' Another passenger on the plane told Reuters that she also heard a loud bang. 'I was very scared,' said Vafa Shabanova, adding that there was also a second bang. She was then told by a flight attendant to move to the back of the plane. Both passengers said there appeared to be a problem with the oxygen levels in the cabin after the bang.

'He warned that there would be a hard landing and asked us to be ready and prepare the passengers.'

Captain Kshnyakin decided against the sea landing, fearing it would have torn the plane apart. 'The captain said that he was advised to land the plane at sea, but he decided to set a course for Aktau and land it on the ground,' Mr Asadov told Reuters. 'A hard landing on water would have been disastrous – the plane would have been torn apart because, as far as I know, water at that speed is harder than concrete,' Mr Asadov explained. 'The captain changed his decision, and we flew toward land. We and the passengers followed instructions.' Mr Kshnyakin and co-pilot Aleksandr Kalyaninov both died during the crash landing, along with passengers in the front of the aircraft. There were 105 passengers and five crew members on board the fight from Azerbaijan capital Baku to Russian city Grozny. Earlier reports had suggested 67 on board Emergency services are pictured above at the scene of the plane crash Mr Asadov revealed that the captain Igor Kshnyakin (pictured) had realised he could not control the plane to land elsewhere, and decided at first on a sea landing in the Caspian Mr Asadov said in no uncertain terms: 'This tragic situation resulted from an external impact on the plane.' He said the when the plane crashed in Aktau, he believes the front landing gear touched the ground first.

'When the front landing gear touched the ground, the plane broke into two pieces, and the front cockpit was torn off. 'I remained conscious despite bleeding heavily, but it was very difficult to breathe.' They managed to open a door and help passengers off the plane, where rescue teams were already waiting. 'I called them because my hand injury was severe, and I had no strength left. 'I asked them to help evacuate the surviving passengers. I am grateful for their assistance.' He was convinced he would not survive. 'When we hit the ground, I thought we were already dead. The shaking was intense – my whole body was trembling. 'I didn't expect to survive. Thanks to Allah, I did. Unfortunately, our crew members and other passengers were not as lucky. 'We survived thanks to the heroism of our captain and co-pilot.' 'We survived thanks to the heroism of our captain and co-pilot,' said Mr Asadov The footage taken moments before the plane crashed were filmed by a passenger who sent it to his wife Female flight attendant Aydan Ragimli was with Zulfugar Asadov in the intact tail section. 'I was giving him first aid,' she said. She spoke of a loud sound leading to 'panic' among the passengers. 'We all sat down and put on oxygen masks.' Asked about shrapnel inside the plane, she said: 'Yes, but by that time we were already in the back of the plane. Everything happened closer to the front.' She lost consciousness and said she woke to find she was on the ground in Aktau. She had remained in touch by phone with another female flight attendant Hokuma Aliyeva, 33, until the end, she said. Aliyeva was killed in the crash. Most of the passengers on board were Azerbaijani. Sixteen were from Russia, and several from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Those who survived were all seated in the tail portion of the plane, which detached during the crash. The main wreckage caught fire on impact, killing everyone in the front.

But Russia is unable to apologise due to a 'very creepy, truly cannibalistic aspect to this story, which Moscow is now having serious problems recognising', he told the Moscow Times. He claimed: 'Having realised that instead of a drone, a [Russian] missile hit a plane, that the plane was barely staying in the air, and that when it crashed, there would be a huge scandal, the Russian authorities quickly decided to sink it in the sea - to hide all traces of air defence fire on the plane. 'I think it was an instinctive action of a psychopathic criminal who kills a random witness of his crime. 'This logic is called 'keeping the ends in the water'. 'That's why the pilots were forbidden to land at any Russian airport. 'The plane could not return to Azerbaijan via the Caucasus Mountains – due to hydraulic failure, it could no longer gain altitude, and the cabin was depressurised.' According to this account 'the Russians sent the airliner into the sea – literally to certain death. 'But the pilots 'let down' their executioners. 'They not only made it to Kazakhstan, but also managed to land the plane in such a way that half of the passengers remained alive, and these people can tell how it really happened. If you look into it, it's a real miracle.' He alleged: 'The Kremlin tried to cover up the traces of the crime by sinking the plane and living witnesses in the Caspian Sea. This can no longer be called a tragic mistake.' The Pantsir-S1 (SA-22), self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile system seen displayed under the Russian national flag during the annual Army defense technology exhibition in Kubinka, 2016 Preliminary investigations suggest that a surface-to-air missile was fired at the flight from Naursky as the military engaged Ukrainian drones with air defences, per Azerbaijan government officials. For its part, Russia has tried to play down speculation, urging patience while the investigation is carried out. Kazakhstan has said it will now be carrying out an investigation into the crash, suggesting it would cooperate with Azerbaijan but not Russia. Azerbaijan is also conducting its own investigation.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer, a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks, whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government, weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect, was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration, including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order, which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club, and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

That means they won't be back on Earth until spring — 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing's Starliner capsule. NASA announced the latest delay in Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams' homecoming Tuesday. The two test pilots planned to be away just a week or so when they blasted off June 5 on Boeing's first astronaut flight to the International Space Station. Their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company's problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September. FILE - This image made from a NASA live stream shows NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during a press conference from the International Space Station on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024. (NASA via AP, File) Now the pair won't return until the end of March or even April because of a delay in launching their replacements, according to NASA. A fresh crew needs to launch before Wilmore and Williams can return and the next mission was bumped more than a month, according to the space agency. NASA's next crew of four was supposed to launch in February, followed by Wilmore and Williams' return home by the end of that month alongside two other astronauts. But SpaceX needs more time to prepare the new capsule for liftoff. That launch is now scheduled for no earlier than late March. NASA said it considered using a different SpaceX capsule to fly up the replacement crew in order to keep the flights on schedule. However, it decided the best option was to wait for the new capsule to transport the next crew. NASA prefers to have overlapping crews at the space station for a smoother transition, according to officials. Most space station missions last six months, with a few reaching a full year.
