Summary

A Swiftair cargo plane operated by DHL crashed near Vilnius, Lithuania, killing a Spanish crew member and injuring three others. The plane skidded into a house but caused no ground casualties.

Authorities are investigating the cause, with no evidence of foul play yet. Lithuanian officials haven’t ruled out sabotage amid heightened concerns over Russian-linked incidents in Europe.

Weather and mechanical issues are also being examined.

The 31-year-old Boeing 737 crashed 1.5 kilometers from the runway during its approach, and black box data will be key to determining the cause.

    It was flying too low already before heavily listing to the side, if you watch the video of the crash. So I wouldn’t believe your idea, but TIL.
