  • According to eyewitnesses, the liner collapsed right in the air - people saw several bright flashes and a burning engine. The fact that the plane fell in a clear field, rather than the neighboring village, can be called a miracle. Victims could be much more, as the area is densely populated, "our correspondent Viktor Huseynov reports from the scene.

 

The Investigative Committee immediately instituted a criminal case under the article "violation of safety rules for the movement and operation of air transport, which caused the death of two or more persons by negligence".

 

The Ministry of Transport considers all versions of the state of emergency, including bad weather conditions, engine failure and the human factor. Meanwhile, the airline claims that the pilot of the aircraft was an experienced pilot - 51-year-old Valery Ivanovich Gubanov.

 

One of the stewards who died in the crash was 29-year-old Anastasia Slavinskaya. She only recently left the decree - her husband and a small child did not wait for her at home.
