A DHL Boeing 737-400F flying from Leipzig, Germany, to Lithuania hit a building in Vilnius and exploded into a huge fireball early Monday morning, killing a crew member and injuring three others.

Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Italy, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock raised the question of whether the plane crash was a hybrid attack.

Authorities must “seriously” consider whether a cargo plane crash in Lithuania was an act of “hybrid” warfare, Germany’s foreign minister said.

Annalena Baerbock, raised the possibility that the crash had been caused on purpose, telling reporters: “We must now seriously ask ourselves whether this was an accident or whether it was another hybrid incident,” in an allusion to the recent severing of cables in the Baltic Sea that officials have said could have been sabotage.

“The German authorities are working very closely with the Lithuanian authorities to get to the bottom of this,” she added.

Jeff Skiles is a pilot who has spent the last 30 years with US Airways and was a key component in the successful crash landing known as the “Miracle on the Hudson”.

Serving as the first officer on a flight from New York LaGuardia alongside Captain Chesley Sullenberger in 2009, Skiles assisted in landing the engine-damaged aircraft on the Hudson River, saving everyone onboard.

Skiles’ lifetime of experiences contributed to this astounding outcome and attributes the result to crisis management training and intense preparation.
