The youngest life claimed by the plane crash that occurred near the city of Aktau on December 25th is of 13-year-old Mukhammadali Farid oglu Eganov.
Mukhammadali was flying alone to celebrate the holidays with his mother, a resident of Grozny.
A passionate footballer who played for Baku’s Ganjlik Club, Mukhammadali lived in the Khatai district of Baku and studied at secondary school №27.
The young football player’s classmates wrote on social media about their dear friend and his coach posted a video of Mukhammadali’s last goal during practice.
One of Mukhammadali’s friends told local media: “He said goodbye to everyone he knew. Even on Instagram he wrote that he would miss everyone. Maybe before he was on the plane he had a feeling that something was going to go wrong.”
When asked about Mukhammadali’s father, the teenager said: “If I’m not wrong, his dad is in Baku.”
Another friend told reporters that “His [Mukhammadali’s] dad couldn’t go with him, and that’s why he had to travel alone. He often visited his mother. They were very close.”
The tragic accident happened on Christmas Day, involving an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer aircraft en route from Baku to Grozny. Of the 67 passengers onboard, 38 were killed.
The victims comprised 42 Azerbaijanis, 16 Russians, 6 Kazakhs, and 3 Kyrgyz nationals.
In light of this heartbreaking event, President Ilham Aliyev declared December 26th a National Day of Mourning.
