AKIPRESS.COM - A 5-month infant, who was rescued by a police officer after the plane crash in Almaty, is in hospital with his parents. Father Ahbolat Davaa feels better and was able to give comments for media representatives, Tengrinews.kz reports.
The man said they were returning from the vacation to Nur-Sultan. A day before they took a stroll in Symbulak resort. All family members fell good on the day of flight.
"We sat on the 10th row, A and B seats. I sat near the window so that the child was not cold. Everything happened so fast. I did not understand whether we took off or not. But I felt the plane touching the ground. Then there was a strong blow. When I recovered, I did not realize what happened, it was dark all around. All my face and mouth were all in dust. I wanted to stand up, but could not. Then I realized that I was fastened with a seat belt. Then I unfastened myself and helped my wife, who was suffering from pain. I pulled her out of of the plane. Then I was looking for my daughter. She had a white coat and I found her quickly. It seemed to me she was dead, she did not have any signs of life. Only when I pressed her to my chest, she began crying. I rejoiced and put the child on the chest of my wife. Then I helped another person to get out of the plane. People from nearby houses ran to us, they told us to get inside," he said.
The spouse of the man is in intensive care, her condition is stable. "I offer condolences to families of those who died. My daughter is in hospital as well. My sister is taking care of her. I thank all doctors for their work," Ahbolat Davaa said.
Five adult survivors are held in Almaty clinical hospital. Two women are in intensive cate unit, 3 men are in traumatology and neurosurgery unit.
It was reported earlier police officer Jaksyluk Sultanov rescued the infant from the scene of the plane crash.
