An Embraer passenger jet crashed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, killing 38 people.

The plane had diverted from an area of Russia that Moscow recently defended against Ukrainian drone attacks.

Twenty-nine survivors received hospital treatment.

Among them was a man who survived and was captured the last moments of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane before it crashed.

However, he was among the few lucky ones who survived the crash.

It was eerie to witness the air crash as the plane descended rapidly before bursting into flames as it hit the seashore.

Seconds later, bloodied and bruised passengers could be seen stumbling from a piece of the fuselage that had remained intact. It was a harrowing sight to see people scream and run out of the plane, a situation where anyone could have had a panic attack.

The Embraer 190 aircraft was on its way from Azerbaijan's capital Baku to Grozny, a Russian city in the North Caucasus.

The plane, which had 62 passengers and five crew members on board, crashed after being forced to make an emergency landing about three kilometres from Aktau.
