Two people died when a sailboat fell from a high altitude in the mountainous region of Adygea, Russia (30) on Sunday. Footage of the accident was recorded by those who were nearby and watched in horror.
According to Russian newspaper Don24, 43-year-old tourist Anna Kozyreva from the city of Rostov and her unidentified trainer were wandering around the area when the glider broke and the vehicle crashed “like a stone”. The hang glider still caught fire during the fall.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the pilot did not have a license to fly or the right to provide paid services. The investigation process has been opened.
According to experts, there was a problem with the glider’s wing that caused smoke to come out of the wing.
Emergency response teams were dispatched to the accident that occurred in Maykop district. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, but according to reports, there was a suspicion of “deformed wing” causing the crash.
“According to preliminary information, an accident [da asa], then fell into a valley. Both are dead,” the Committee said in a statement.
