The crash occurred just hours after a massive snowstorm had swept through the region, creating hazardous landing conditions. A video circulating on social media captures the dramatic moment the plane touched down, lost control, and flipped over.
Within seconds, thick black smoke began rising from the aircraft. Visuals from the scene show passengers stumbling away from the overturned plane, shielding themselves from strong winds and blowing snow.
