CCTV footage from the site of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s tragic plane crash has surfaced, revealing the severity of the accident. The visuals show the aircraft descending rapidly, colliding with the ground, and erupting into a massive fireball followed by thick smoke plumes. Eyewitnesses reported multiple explosions, emphasizing the intensity of the crash. The footage captures the exact moment of impact near Baramati Airport around 8:46 AM, showing the aircraft’s failed attempts at landing, including a second approach after the first attempt was unsuccessful. Experts point out that the Baramati runway is a table-top airstrip without an Instrument Landing System (ILS), requiring pilots to execute manual landings. Any slight miscalculation during manual approach can lead to severe accidents, as likely happened in this case. Aviation authorities and the airline are investigating technical logs, maintenance records, and potential negligence. The footage confirms that the aircraft’s fuel tank ignited upon impact, leaving no chance for passenger rescue. Authorities are collecting additional CCTV clips and intelligence to reconstruct the sequence of events. This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through Maharashtra, marking a significant loss for the state’s political and administrative leadership.
