New CCTV footage reveals the Learjet 45 carrying Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar descending steeply and crashing near Baramati Airport, then erupting into a massive fireball on Wednesday morning. The aircraft, on a charter from Mumbai, was attempting a second emergency landing when it nosedived and burst into flames, killing all five on board including two pilots and Pawar’s security personnel. The video captures the final moments before impact, with thick black smoke and debris. Preliminary reports suggest poor visibility could be a factor; authorities are investigating the crash’s cause.
