38 of those on board have died, while 32 people have survived, including two children. However, many are in serious conditions in hospital.

Video footage of the actual crash has begun to circulate on social media and shows the plane descend rapidly and become an inferno on the ground.

However, another video has begun doing the rounds, reportedly showing a final video a passenger sent to his wife moments before the crash.

According to a Mail Online report, the passenger was identified as Subkhon Rakhimov.

He began filming when he realized the plane was losing altitude. In the video, the oxygen masks are also seen down for some of the passengers, with many others heard panicking and crying.



Rakhimov was also heard praying as he repeatedly flipped the camera on his face and to the chaos on the plane.

Miraculously, he is thought to have survived the crash and is now being treated for a wound to his face.

Many people on Twitter couldn’t believe the good fortune of the Rakhimov to survive such a brutal plane crash.

“She got one hell of a Christmas miracle,” one user said, speaking of the passenger’s wife.

Another commented: “You can hear the panic in her voice so sad. The crew member is asking everyone to sit and put on the seatbelt and that everything will be fine

A third wrote: “This was heartbreaking to watch all those passengers in front I’m surprised how calm everyone seemed.”

While another commented: “I’m so happy with this great news. My condolences to those who lost their lives during this devastating [incident].”

Speaking of the incident, Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev warned against speculation at this time as investigations are still in the early stages.

He said: “There are videos of the plane crash available in the media and on social networks, and everyone can watch them. However, the reasons for the crash are not yet known to us.

“There are various theories, but I believe it is premature to discuss them.”
