Earlier, the world’s largest plane, the Antonov cargo plane, had to make an emergency landing after it suffered a severe engine failure. After taking off, it immediately got into trouble, losing radio contact with the ground.
The aircraft-with 14 people on board- was seen struggling to slow down, which it did after already overshooting the end of the runway by around 700 feet. The aircraft’s nose completely touched the ground and was immersed in the snow after failing to put brakes.
A large part of an engine crashed through the roof of a warehouse near the airport, narrowing missing nearby people, and miraculously, no casualties were reported on the aircraft or on the ground.
