Russia probes ‘mysterious’ Aeroflot jet crash in Urals
The Boeing-737 plane crashed on Sunday as it was coming in to land in the city of Perm, narrowly missing densely populated residential areas. Witnesses said it was already on fire or had exploded before the crash.
The Kommersant daily called the crash “one of this country’s most mysterious air disasters”, quoting the chief air traffic controller as saying that the pilot was behaving “abnormally” and was not following basic instructions.
