Horrific footage shows the moment a tourist and her pilot are killed when their hang-glider suddenly plunges to the ground in Russia.
A criminal case has opened after 43-year-old tourist Anna Kozyreva’s glider got caught in a tailspin and crashed midway through a ride in the mountainous Adygea region yesterday.
A suspected wing problem on the motorised glider led to it plunging ‘like a stone’, with smoke visible from the flying craft.
Additional footage filmed at the crash site shows flames rising from the smouldering wreckage of the craft.
