The alarm went off in Keru just after 2 pm.
The man and his son Ivari live on Lake Tiriseva in Keitaniemi Kaiuru, right near where the plane went down. This place is located about one kilometer north of the place where the plane crashed. Both were rowing a boat when the accident happened on Monday.
According to the person, there were two planes at the crash site when the accident happened.
The man and his son first heard a loud bang from somewhere above them, and they saw what appeared to be another Air Force plane circling in the air after that. According to the father, the second plane remained near the crash site for less than an hour.
– I think it will report the incident further, he guesses.
He says that both kept watching the plane spin in the air for an hour. The two themselves did not see the Hawk jet fall as trees came in the way.
– Mostly I thought the bang might be somehow related to the dripping essentially, I don’t know.
According to Keitanimi, the plane took off several times in the air.
Attention went to the point that he started counting those rounds. When there were dozens of them, we began to wonder what was happening there. The aircraft sometimes changed direction and flew in a circle in both directions for a very long time.
