This is reported by the portal E1.RU.

The flight was supposed to deliver passengers from Yekaterinburg to Sochi, however, due to a thunderstorm, the airports of the Krasnodar Territory temporarily stopped accepting planes.

As a result, the board was forced to go to the second circle, and lightning hit it.

“It was a wild horror.

During the landing approach, there was heavy cloudiness and rain, and it was dark.

A strong turbulence began: we went to the second circle, when we were gaining altitude, at some point we "failed" and began to fall, for a few seconds.

Bottles and other small items scattered throughout the cabin.

Then lightning hit us: there was a loud pop and a bright flash, ”said one of the passengers on the plane.

After the incident, the board began to gain altitude and made a safe landing in Krasnodar.

Earlier it was reported that the An-26 aircraft, on board of which there were six people, disappeared from radars in the Khabarovsk Territory.

A helicopter and rescuers were involved in his search.
