A devastating plane crash has left hundreds feared dead after a commercial aircraft carrying over 244 passengers went down. Authorities are still confirming details about the airline, flight route, and destination, but early reports describe it as a large-scale tragedy.

Witnesses reported seeing “a fireball streaking through the sky” before the plane hit the ground. “It looked like the entire sky lit up orange,” one said. The crash site is covered in wreckage, flames, and thick smoke as firefighters and medical teams work desperately to find survivors.

Rescue crews have launched a massive operation, using helicopters and drones to search through the debris. Officials have set up a crisis center, and nearby hospitals are on high alert. However, early indications suggest survival chances are extremely low.

Investigators are examining radar data, flight communications, and weather reports to determine what went wrong. Mechanical failure, pilot distress, or external factors have not been ruled out.

Families of those onboard are gathering at airports, waiting anxiously for updates. As night falls, rescue workers continue their grim task. The full toll remains unknown, but the disaster stands as a heartbreaking reminder of how suddenly tragedy can strike.
