A Boeing 737 crash near the Lithuanian capital Vilnius made international headlines yesterday, November 25, 2024. The cause of the crash is under investigation, but German officials fear “hybrid warfare” was used, according to CNN.

The cargo plane belonging to the international shipping company DHL crashed into a residential area about half a mile short of the planned runway at Vilnius Airport. The aircraft was operated by four crew members. The incident left one person dead and, miraculously, it is the only fatality so far.

The crash was captured by various webcams throughout the city of Vilnius, but footage from a camera at the top of Liepkalnis, a ski resort near Vilnius Airport, will certainly help investigators determine the cause of the crash. Video of the crash has been embedded below. Viewer discretion is advised

Pictures have emerged of the shocking scene shortly after the crash. The 737 reportedly landed in a residential neighborhood before skidding hundreds of feet through a wooded area and crashing into a two-story building. As seen in the footage, the fireball from the crash lit up the early morning sky and temporarily blinded the webcam.

The webcam above has been temporarily disabled as crews work to clear the debris.

Lithuania’s intelligence agency, the State Security Ministry, said it was too early to determine the cause of the crash. POWDER will continue to update this story as more details become available.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the friends and family of the deceased.
