Miraculously, seven people were pulled out alive from the twisted wreckage in the Tatarstan region of Russia. The small jet was carrying a group of parachute jumpers when it went down in a remote area. The pilot reportedly signaled a left engine failure minutes before the plane went down according to Russian media.
