After an Azerbaijan Airlines jet crashed in Kazakhstan, speculation mounted about why the plane went down and whether possible Russian air defense action may have played a role.

Mobile phone footage circulating online appeared to show the Azerbaijani Airlines plane making a steep descent before slamming into the ground in a fireball in western Kazakhstan.

Subkhon Rakhimov, one of the passengers who survived the tragic Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash near Kazakhstan's Aktau on December 25 documented the suspected shrapnel damage to the aircraft in a fresh video.
