MOSCOW, Aug 24 — The Embraer executive jet model that crashed in Russia, apparently with Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin onboard, has only recorded one accident in over 20 years of service, and that was not related to mechanical failure.
Embraer said it was aware of a plane crash in Russia involving a Legacy 600 aircraft, but it did not have further information about the case and had not been providing support services for the jet since 2019. Flightradar24 online tracker showed that the Embraer Legacy 600 said to be carrying Prigozhin had dropped off the radar at 6.11pm local time . An unverified video on social media showed a plane resembling a private jet falling out of the sky toward the earth.
There is only one recorded accident involving a Legacy 600, according to International Aviation HQ, which occurred in 2006 when it crashed mid-air into a Gol Boeing 737-800 on its way from the Embraer factory in Brazil to the United States.
