The pilots of the helicopter that crashed on the border of the Tomsk and Omsk regions were drunk
A drug examination established that the pilots of the Mi-8 helicopter, which crashed in the Omsk region in November last year, killed 8 people, flew the aircraft while intoxicated. “The pilot and captain were moderately intoxicated,” the West Siberian Transport Prosecutor’s Office told the Interfax-Siberia agency. The investigation into this case has been extended until July 1. Fragments of the helicopter, discovered in April during an additional inspection of the scene, were sent to the IAC.
