An attempt to cover up what happened to the two planes failed miserably. Further government efforts to present everything as an accident, a breakdown, a human factor (although the officials knew very well: the pilots did everything they could) would be frankly stupid. After intelligible speeches by independent experts, who God knows how to break through increased censorship, it became clear to everyone: there was a terrorist attack.
Now it is important to draw conclusions about the actions of state leaders and their subordinates from relevant ministries and departments. Once again, for the whole country and before the whole world, they confirmed that they are ready, in any, even the most obvious, case to classify socially significant information, if this is required by the "higher" (in their understanding) interests.
Recall that the society has not heard a word of truth from high official sources. Information was also blocked on state television channels, which have the largest audience.
The conclusions that the authorities have drawn from this and a number of other stories are unequivocal. The state will continue to fight not with the conditions that breed terrorists, and not with the circumstances that allow them to blow up and capture people, but rather will make an effort to silence the few who are still talking about the problem.
About Information
Experts of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), commenting on the situation, are afraid to give their names. They are motivated by the fact that they do not want to become hostages of political games. They told us that unprecedented pressure was put on the leadership of the IAC in order to muffle the aircraft theme.
- 99.9 percent is
terrorist attack, but the authorities were immediately told that the investigation would be closed, and if they were ever allowed to report this, then only with time ...
Other official versions are absurd. The expert recalled a case when all engines stopped at the plane, but it landed in 17 minutes. There were casualties, but the plane landed.
Even if we assume that the planes immediately, at the same time, went into a tailspin, then this does not explain their instantaneous disappearance. The downed Korean Boeing (if you remember, there was such a story), going into a tailspin, fell for 4 minutes. The expert also noted that it is extremely difficult to completely de-energize the aircraft with triple duplication of all its systems - this can only happen with a serious extraneous impact.
Finally, there was a signal about the hijacking of the aircraft. This signal has no other meaning! It is extremely clear: "the terrorists are in the cockpit." In vain did the Minister of Transport, speaking at the First, try to pass it off as an abstract SOS.
IAC specialists immediately assured us that no one could get to the results of decoding the data of the recorders (“black boxes”). The practice has already developed: when special secrecy is needed, two or three experts who gain access to information are given an additional oath. Of course, they will be silent as long as necessary.
According to our sources, the commission to investigate the causes of the disaster will issue some information this week, but the experts were “recommended” to announce the final conclusions only next year, when it will be forgotten by itself ...
About security
We have been able to hide information for a long time. With security measures, everything is much more complicated. Even after the tragedy, law enforcement agencies and airlines (which were not affected by the disaster) did not draw any conclusions at all. Here are eyewitness accounts of what happened after:
- In the VIP lounge of the airport, one of the attendants approached the passenger: "Take the parcel, only 15 kg." - "And what's in there?" - "Server from the computer." And the VIP passenger suffered ... And if this minister's family was seized and he was sent to hand over the box?
And more about enhanced measures:
- Already after the tragedy with the planes, I wanted to fly from Sochi to Moscow. Our flight was canceled - as a result, it was merged with flight 818. So, in the airport hall, a group of men approached me and offered to put me on a plane without a ticket, just for money. I got angry and went to the police. And the local warrant officer answered me that they were "their guys."
This Arkhangelsk Airlines flight made an emergency landing at the Rostov airport. Initially, the flight attendant referred to bad weather conditions. But when we sat down, I saw that an ambulance and a fire engine immediately drove up to us. As I later found out, the commission found out that there was metal shavings in the engine oil ...
COMMENTS

An employee of the press service of the company "Arkhangelsk Air Airlines":
- I have no information about this. My leadership is now at a press conference on the occasion of the merger with Aeroflot. We become part of it and will be called Aeroflot-Nord. For the last week, all employees have been busy preparing for this merger, and other problems have faded into the background.
