STORYLINE:
A plane carrying seven people injured in the Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 crash arrived at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku on Thursday evening.
The crash killed 38 people and left all 29 survivors injured.
Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons yet unclear and crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea.
The plane went down about 3 kilometres (around 2 miles) from Aktau.
Cellphone footage circulating online appeared to show the aircraft making a steep descent before smashing into the ground in a fireball.
Other footage showed part of its fuselage ripped away from the wings and the rest of the aircraft lying upside down in the grass.
On Thursday, national flags were lowered across Azerbaijan, traffic across the country stopped at noon, and signals sounded from ships and trains as the country observed a nationwide moment of silence.
