There was one minute to save
"Superjet", in the accident of which 41 people died, was the most convenient flight for Murmansk
In the Murmansk airport, rain with snow. It is far from the city, there is always windy and chilly. But people still come, bring flowers and toys to the spontaneous memorial. In the center of Murmansk, at the monument to the victims of the intervention, candles burn, flowers were brought here all night while the airport terminal was closed. Only relatives of those who registered on flight 1492, flying out of Sheremetyevo, were allowed inside.
This flight of Aeroflot was clogged to the eyeballs, the networks now note those who did not get tickets for it. He was always complete - the most convenient of all flying to Murmansk. No delays, no equipment failures, a new aircraft, a comfortable departure and arrival time.
Families with children sought to take tickets for him - cheaper flights from the capital leave about midnight.
Dr. Evgeny Novikov with a 12-year-old daughter returned from Kursk, from his relatives. The places went in the tail. Already on an airplane, the head of the Snezhnogorsk medical unit accidentally met his deputy - Larisa Sivokon flew from Belgorod, also from relatives. From Murmansk, planes fly all year round only to Moscow and St. Petersburg, all business travelers and vacationers get with transfers.
The passenger seedlings scheme that appeared on the Internet almost immediately after the first messages about the “hard landing” of the side, for several hours was the only source of hope - and despair. Video with a blazing Superjet left hope only to those who sat at the beginning of the cabin. And when the phones were silent, and the television channels mentioned one deceased in addition, relatives of passengers of a burned aircraft were looking for their surnames in the lists, checking with the location of the places.
From the first seconds it was clear: people in the tail could only be saved by a miracle. There was no miracle.
The plane stayed in the air for 28 minutes. I gave a distress signal, then the main channel, then the backup, refused the connection first. On the second attempt, the crew managed to land the ship, landing in the middle of the strip. The plane began to "goat" - to bounce in the strip, destroying in the direction of movement. The dumped racier stand pierced the fuel tank. The liner stopped, already dusting. There was one minute to save.
Of the 78 on board, 41 people died. True, there is no final clarity: this figure is called in the government of the Murmansk region, clarifying - among the victims of 26 residents of the region, including two children. The Federal Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova speaks of 40 dead, including 1 child. Ahead of the recognition, examination of DNA. The Murmansk acting governor Andrei Chibis through journalists asked the relatives of the passengers to respond: so far not everyone has got in touch. The brigades of doctors of the Federal Medical and Biological Agenism were on duty all night at the Murmansk airport: by the morning they delivered survivors-those who abandoned hospitalization in Moscow.
9 severe patients remain in the capital's research Research Institute of Vishnevsky and Sklifosovsky, they have burns, fractures, political studies. Among the 9 victims are three crew members. Fourth,
The flight attendant Maxim Moiseev, died, pulling passengers from the blazing tail of the aircraft.
Even when, by the evening of May 5, he announced the initiation of the case under the article “Violation of the rules of traffic safety and operation of air transport, which entailed the death of two or more persons through negligence,” they also said in Murmansk that “everyone survived”. Murmansk residents say that the hotline calls were also uninformative. And, as usual, people scooped up information in networks-from a video sent by one of the passengers, taken from the inside of the cabin, from the messages of the survivors, from the posts of those who managed to be saved.
Mikhail Savchenko, the captain of the Murmansk team of experts, flew from the Brain Ring tournament-he was lucky: he was sitting at the beginning, managed to evacuate along the infantal ladder. He asks not to condemn those who removed the bags of bags from the luggage shelves, blocking the path sitting from behind and wasting time.
People with suitcases on the take -off fell on a lot of videos, it is clear that they violated the rules of evacuation, about which the flight attendants spoke even before takeoff. Things can cost the lives of those who do not have time. But people fled with bags.

“I really want to ask not to poison them. I am sure that it is already very difficult for them now. I do not think that at least one person in this burning hell is calmly and deliberately dragging his suitcases. I don’t know how the psyche works in such situations, the question for experts. Perhaps many were simply stirred, acted on the machine, ”writes Misha.
He himself did not drag the suitcases. Dragged an unfamiliar guy hesitated during the evacuation.
Were those who dragged suitcases from luggage shelves in the deaths of 41 people? The pilot who made a hard landing, in which the wreckage of the chassis pierced the fuel tank? Ground services allowing take -off to meet the Thunderstorm Front? Refusing electronics? Both black boxes have been seized, the investigations have three versions that are quite traditional for investigating a plane crash: insufficient qualifications of pilots and dispatchers, technical malfunction and adverse weather conditions.
Ship commander Denis Evdokimov in an interview with Baza Telegram channel claims that the connection with the ground has ceased after a lightning strike

“The take -off was at 18:02. There was no radio communications, it managed to restore it through the emergency frequency. She was short and intermittent. The dispatchers helped us, set the courses for the lane. The speed was small for planting. We approached the ground smoothly, with a decrease in vertical speed to the time of touch ...The fire began after landing. There was no fire in the air.
Due to the lightning, there was a loss of radio communications and the transition of the aircraft to a minimum regime, direct control mode. I can’t say exactly why there was a blow to the ground. ”
However, lightning caused the disaster only at the dawn of aviation, over the past 20 years, the thunderstorm led to an accident only 8 times - out of 3 thousand aircraft preferences. Could the electric discharge destroy the latest, two years ago, who had come down from the assembly line and in April, the Liner maintenance? The head of the Ministry of Transport Evgeny Dietrich has already stated that Sukhoi Superjet 100 will be suspended. Meanwhile, a month ago, Aeroflot, according to BBC, unofficially called this liner the least safe of his aircraft.
The Superjet, in the construction of which 44 billion rubles were invested, got into the first disaster on a demonstration flight - on May 9, 2012 in Indonesia - crashed uphill. Then the reason was called the pilot's mistake.
A year later, during certification tests, Superjet could not release the chassis during landing.
In 2018, Sukhoi damaged the chassis when landing in Yakutsk. The MAC then announced an unacceptably high number of incidents with this model of the aircraft.
Daily Storm quotes a member of the Presidential Aviation Development Commission Yuri Sytnik, who calls Superjet a corruption project, and calls the modernization of old aircraft models in a more efficient and economical way to update.
However, Superjet remains a priority project of our aircraft industry. Now more than 160 machines have been produced, of which Aeroflot operates more than fifty (and is going to buy another 100). Also SSJ100 - in explovation at the special detachment "Russia", at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergencies.
One strip still works in Sheremetyevo. The wreckage of the deceased ship at the scene is still being studied by experts. In the Murmansk region, all pre -holiday events have been canceled, mourning will last three days. The national mourning for the victims of the disaster refused to announce.
