YEREVAN, DECEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS. Brussels Airlines flight SN2899 to Yerevan, Armenia returned to Brussels Airport after the plane was hit by a lightning strike at an altitude of 22,500 feet above the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, Aviation24.be reported.

The flight was fully booked, with 180 passengers on board.

The crew decided to turn back to Brussels immediately after the lightning strike.

The flight was postponed by 24 hours and the passengers were accommodated in nearby hotels.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
