Video footage released by Russian investigators showed thick columns of smoke billowing from the wreckage amid dense forest terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRescuers in the helicopter saw no evidence of survivors,\u201d local emergency services reported, as the Amur region\u2019s civil defense agency mobilized ground teams to reach the crash site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenging forest terrain has complicated rescue efforts, forcing teams to conduct primary search operations from the air, according to a rescuer speaking to state news agency TASS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the moment, 25 people and five units of equipment have been dispatched, and four aircraft with crews are on standby,\u201d the civil defense agency stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f70707\" class=\"has-inline-color\">WATCH:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/eZ6tvO9x?cover=1&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft was carrying 43 passengers and six crew members, according to Amur region governor Vassily Orlov. Among the passengers were five children. However, state news agency TASS reported slightly different figures, citing emergency services as saying 40 passengers and six crew were aboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia\u2019s Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor\u2019s Office revealed that the plane crashed while attempting a second approach to Tynda airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile approaching Tynda Airport, the aircraft went around for a second landing, after which contact was lost,\u201d the prosecutor\u2019s office stated. \u201cThe circumstances are being investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials have not yet commented on the potential cause of the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Antonov-24 involved in the crash was manufactured nearly 50 years ago, according to TASS, though its airworthiness certificate was reportedly extended until 2036 in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Antonov-24 is a Soviet-designed twin-propeller aircraft that first entered service in 1959 and remains popular in Russia\u2019s aviation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Russia has made efforts to modernise its fleet with contemporary jets in recent years, aging light aircraft continue to serve remote regions where accidents occur frequently. The challenging geography and weather conditions in Russia\u2019s far eastern territories often test the limits of older aircraft and aviation infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angara Airlines, a small regional carrier based in Irkutsk, has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation into the crash circumstances continues as rescue teams work to reach the remote crash site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOSCOW, RUSSIA &#8211; A passenger aircraft carrying 49 people crashed in Russia\u2019s remote Amur region on Thursday, with
