I realized that I was so annoying all the week after the crash of the aircraft near Yaroslavl. I am annoyed by "gossip in the form of versions." Actually, this happens after each of the many disasters. But now this one is somehow especially striking. Perhaps because I myself am a big fan, hockey is my favorite sport, and I know people for whom the death of a team is not just an abstract loss, but a personal tragedy.

The most nasty thing is that it is impossible to listen to anyone. Neither conditionally official sources, nor conditionally independent, all these "experts", analysts and similar citizens who pop up with their conclusions whenever the trouble comes.

Look what the authorities are doing. The plane fell, people died - so what? A check of all Yak-42 aircraft is announced. The steamer drowned - the check, the plane fell - the check, the club burned out, the nursing home, the hydroelectric power station exploded - check. What else is left for us? And what after these checks stopped burning and exploding?

Then we are informed that small airlines will be closed without trial and investigation. Yes, with what joy?! They are to blame for what they are small? If they work with violations, if they have overdue aircraft and other disgraces - why did they work so far? And why was the yak under Yaroslavl should die for their closure? And how can you liquidate something and punish someone without trial? And what will happen to people who work a lot in these companies? Thousands of people without work and in fact without a profession - where will you go? What is their fault? And on what and where people will fly, if in small cities we only fly such companies?

And where does, in fact, this tragic accident itself? This is the time to look, so to speak, on the other side of the conditional barricades - at the indignant public. Before the news about the disaster could appear, comments immediately appeared that according to some classification of the Yak-42, this is the trash. What classification? Throughout the history of the operation of this aircraft, only two disasters occurred due to the fault of technology - in the third world countries, where Boeing fall at least our cars. Normal yak plane. Yes, not new, but pretty decent. But hardly all happened, as a wave of refusal followed to fly yaks from the same federation of hockey. They did not have time to get at least some data at least something-and immediately howled about the collapse of our aviation, the collapse of the country and so on.

Then they reported that the plane was old and he was three weeks before writing off. Not confirmed. Then about the fact that the engines probably refused. No. The fuel is bad. Not either. The flaps "probably" were not so put up. Again. Overload. What is the overload in a car designed for 120 passengers and taking 45? The strip was reduced-because of this damn forum. Where does such data come from? Type forum could not but affect the work of services, on the state of dispatchers and pilots. Has it affected or couldn't help but influence? This is from the same opera, after the fall of the Polish President, they immediately said that it was a KGB, because it could not be otherwise.

Now the version appeared that they did not remove the plane from the handbrake. That is, people who do not have the slightest technical data about the incident are sitting, and simply sorting out everything that comes to mind. One version disappeared - here is a new one. The new will disappear - we will scratch in the back of the head and develop a “reserve”. I understand that everyone wants to know what happened. I understand that I want to find out as soon as possible. I understand that many want to show their awareness, advance, I just want to express emotions and indignation.

And indignation is understandable. We live in a country where something is constantly happening, where everything is constantly not thank God-and how not to see the system of this and how not to blame the authorities?

But we need this not. In our world, too much flies, swims, moves, works - and, alas, there are periodically occurred and accidents will occur. The point is to clearly understand what happened specifically. And to ensure that, on the basis of these data, at least not repeat past mistakes, exclude the same type of accidents.

I perfectly understand what is our attitude to the investigations of high -profile affairs and what is the level of trust in the commissions and their conclusions. But let's not trust, question, criticize, conduct alternative investigations on the basis of at least some data. We have an obvious panic on the part of the authorities, and on the part of the critics of the authorities - paranoia and the production of “diagnoses by photography”, when there is a pre -formed universal position, to which it is so easy to fit everything that you like.
