Unexpected part of this is that most pilots survived the crash. I don't understand how that's possible given the explosion visible on CCTVs

I had to shorten the title due to limit. It was a cargo plane operating for DHL.

Honestly the shortening buried the fact that it's a cargo flight and made it more shocking/clickbaity - I heard about a plane crashing in Lithuania before I saw your headline so I was aware which crash was being referred to.

Adding " (DHL cargo) " before "crashes" would've fit the title limitations...


Reports of explosions prior to crash, local police does not rule out terror attack yet.
