Mr. Koukov recalled the moment when the plane's wheels hit the runway, unexpectedly skidding onto its side. "I saw flames as we hit the ground," he explained, detailing how he quickly unbuckled his seatbelt to escape after the plane ended up inverted. He later shared harrowing footage showing their escape onto the snow-covered tarmac.
Paramedic Pete Carlson described the incident as disorienting, with the crash jolting him from a seemingly normal arrival. "One minute, you're landing; the next, you're upside down," he expressed, highlighting the chaos that ensued. As authorities investigate the cause of this unexpected crash, the passengers' harrowing accounts stress the bewildering moment when routine travel turned into an airplane emergency.
