this somewhat dramatic shot was captured after a Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Mi-26T, carrying munitions, crashed in Dagestan on 25/9/1999 (no casualties) asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/80425

a somewhat lo-res ground-level photo of the rear of a very large helicopter, tipped over on its starboard side. there is a very strong fire engulfing it, from its port undercarriage at the highest point, through and across to its tail section, taking up about a third of the photo. debris in the air seems to imply a very recent explosion had occurred. In the foreground, there is a military truck facing head-on to the camera, with the passenger door open, and a person running away from the copter alongside the truck. are they possible carrying someone on their back(?)
