BASHIR: "Danny, the investigation is still ongoing into the details of what may have caused this crash. According to authorities, preliminary information at this stage suggests that the pilot may have been forced to attempt an emergency landing as a result of a bird strike. But again, we are still waiting to get more details around this crash and what may have caused it. We have seen video emerging from eyewitnesses and those at the scene, videos just moments before the crash, in fact, showing the plane encircling the airfield quite erratically before attempting that emergency landing, but indeed crashing, and then moments after, showing the plane bursting into flames. And there is distressing footage showing members — passengers on board the plane emerging bloodied from the wreckage. And remarkably, as you mentioned, there have been survivors following this crash. At least 28 people, according to authorities, including two children, are said to have survived.“
