A Swiftair Boeing 737-400 cargo jet, operating on behalf of DHL, crashed on final approach to Vilnius Airport, impacting a residential building and catching fire. The crash resulted in one crew member's death and injuries to three others, with no ground casualties. The cause is under investigation, with possibilities including technical failure or human error, though terrorism hasn't been ruled out. The incident occurred after normal communication with air traffic control, but contact was lost before switching to the tower frequency.
