A motley crowd of tourists, a vibrant underwater world that attracts divers from all over the world - all this attracts travelers. Russians were eager to go there as if they were going to a second dacha: at least a week to rest from work and bask in the sun. Whole families flew until the plane crash in Egypt on October 31, 2015 forced the entire country to shudder.

Tragic accident

A tourist group from the Brisco company was returning on a charter flight from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg. Despite the early morning (departure at 5.50 local time), the passengers were in excellent spirits. They posted pictures of their successful vacation on social networks. It was Saturday, and on Monday many had to plunge into work; some had work, others had to study.

The Airbus A321-231 EI-ETJ airliner, which arrived from Samara, took 217 passengers on board. They and seven crew members had to be in the Northern capital by 12 noon, where many had relatives and friends waiting at the airport. Having reached a given altitude of 9400 meters in 23 minutes, at a speed of 520 km/h the aircraft suddenly disappeared from the radar. At 6.15 (7.15 Moscow) the plane crashed in the Sinai Peninsula near El-Arish airport - the hottest spot in Egypt, where government troops were confronted by Al-Qaeda Islamists.

Versions of the tragedy

Those meeting flight 9268 at Pulkovo Airport anxiously watched the board, which displayed the information: “Arrival delayed.” And by evening, the whole country knew that the wreckage of the aircraft that had disappeared from radar had been discovered by the Egyptian authorities. Scattered over a length of 13 kilometers, with the tail section torn off, they were shown on television, which gave rise to many versions of experts about the possible causes of the disaster. Three were considered the most reliable:

• Technical problems associated either with engine failure or metal fatigue. In the tail section, traces of skin repairs were found after the aircraft touched the asphalt with its tail while landing at Cairo airport in 2001. The resulting microcrack could cause the destruction of the aircraft as it climbed.
• The plane crash in Egypt was caused by the crew's mistakes.
• Terrorist act.

The IAC commission, headed by Egyptian representative Ayman al-Mukkadam, began working at the site of the tragedy. It included representatives of Russia, France, Germany, the USA and Ireland. After studying the evidence and decoding, the first two versions were found unfounded.

Aircraft

The A321 crash over the Sinai Peninsula was the largest in the history of Egypt and modern Russia. The airbus belonged to the Kogalymavia company, which underwent a thorough inspection. It was found that after the 2001 emergency, the aircraft was repaired in France at the manufacturer's plant, after which all the necessary tests were carried out. Over 18 years of operation, the airliner flew less than 50% of its service life (57,428 hours) and was in good condition. This is evidenced by weekly technical checks, the last of which was carried out on October 26, 2015. The flight recorders did not detect any system malfunction. Until the 23rd minute, the flight proceeded quite normally.

Crew

Forty-eight-year-old crew commander Valery Nemov is a graduate of SVAAULSH (Stavropol Military School). He is one of the few who, in the difficult 90s, retrained to fly on Airbuses since 2008, having 12 thousand flight hours, which testifies to his enormous experience. The second pilot also came from military aviation, being a veteran of the Chechen campaign. After retiring, Sergei Trukhachev retrained on the A321, having undergone training in the Czech Republic. I flew them for more than 2 years. The total flight time was 6 thousand hours. Both pilots were in good standing with their airline. Nemov was even called back from vacation prematurely to be sent on the infamous flight 9268.

Official version

Two weeks after the tragedy, the version of the terrorist attack was officially voiced by the head of the FSB during a meeting with the President of the Russian Federation. To support his words, he provided the following evidence:

1. American satellites recorded a thermal flash over Sinai during the disaster, which indicates an explosion occurred on board the plane.
2. The fuselage fragment has a hole with a diameter of about one meter. Its edges are curved outward. This indicates that the source of the explosion was inside.
3. When decoding the recorder recording the negotiations, before the recording is interrupted, extraneous noise is heard, the nature of which can be attributed to a blast wave.
4. The plane crash in Egypt caused great public outcry. After a while, they not only admitted responsibility for the terrorist attack, but also posted a photo of an improvised explosive device (IED) on the pages of Dabig magazine.
5. Some of the victims had injuries indicating death from the consequences of the explosion (burns, tissue ruptures).
6. Traces of explosives - TNT molecules - were found in fragments of shrapnel, luggage and on the bodies of the victims.

The power of the explosion was estimated at 1 kilogram. The estimated location of the IED is the tail of the aircraft. For the blast wave moved forward, but the fracture of the fuselage prevented its further advancement.

Plane crash in Egypt: who is to blame?

After the Russian version appeared, it became known that 17 employees were detained at the Egyptian airport. The main question was one: “How did the IED get on board the airliner?” The FSB began studying the biographies of 34 passengers (11 men and 23 women) who had TNT molecules on their bodies. But official Egypt soon stated that there was no evidence for a clear statement about a terrorist attack on board the plane. None of the employees were actually arrested. Russian authorities have announced a $50 million reward for any information about the terrorists.

Only in February 2016 did the Egyptian President officially acknowledge the terrorist attack. It was discovered that the bomb was made from plasticite, which is used to create military projectiles. It is powered by a clock mechanism. The plane crash in Egypt on October 31, 2015 showed that the airport security system does not meet international standards. The IED could have come on board the food supply company, through employees with access to the runway, or through carry-on luggage during baggage checks. The latest data is such that it was in the cabin in the immediate vicinity of place 31A. All these facts led to a ban on the sale of holiday tours in Egypt.

Flight passengers

EI-ETJ - the last digits of the Airbus number. According to them, the aviators called the board “Juliet” among themselves, affectionately “Dzhulka”. On that tragic morning, she broke up three aviation marriages and killed a young steward who replaced a colleague who had quit due to a bad dream. It also took the lives of 217 passengers, 25 of whom were children. Those killed in a plane crash in Egypt are entire families, dozens of destroyed love stories, babies who will never grow up. Ten-month-old Darina Gromova was on this flight with her parents. Her mother posted her photo on a social network before the flight. A girl stands at the airport facing the runway, and below is the signature: “Main Passenger.” This picture became a symbol of the tragic flight from which no one was able to return.

Almost all passengers are Russians, 4 people are citizens of Ukraine, 1 is from Belarus. The majority are residents of St. Petersburg, although there are also representatives of other regions: Pskov, Novgorod, Ulyanovsk. Those killed in the plane crash in Egypt are people of various professions. Even while relatives were busy identifying the bodies, caring people were forming a collective portrait of the passengers, collecting information about them bit by bit. A wonderful gallery was created, where there were many good words about everyone.

Almost a year later

On July 31, Moscow and St. Petersburg held a rally in memory of those killed over the Sinai. Nine months passed: many relatives received compensation, identified and buried their loved ones, but the pain did not subside. On August 5, 2016, a message was received that forty-five militants led by Abu Dua al-Ansari, through whose fault the plane crash occurred in Egypt, were killed during a military operation near El-Arish. I really want to believe that something like this will never happen again!

The history of air travel includes hundreds of major disasters. Such accidents, although rare, are usually fatal. The worst plane crash to date claimed the lives of almost six hundred people.

The most famous plane crashes

Japan Airlines Flight No. 123

After the Boeing's fin came off, the crew continued to fly the plane for thirty-two minutes, trying to stabilize the condition of the airliner. However, it went out of control and crashed into a mountain range. It is known that four passengers managed to survive.

Disaster over India (Charkhi Dadri)

No one survived this terrible accident. The Boeing disintegrated in the air after the collision, the IL remained “intact”, but lost control.

Plane crash in Ermenonville

Just seventy-two seconds after the incident, the plane crashed. Three hundred and forty-six people were killed in the Ermenonville disaster.

L-1011 disaster

The airliner managed to land, but for unknown reasons did not turn off the engines, but continued to move, stopping much further than the firefighters who were waiting for it. They did not dare to approach the board. Twenty-three minutes later the plane was completely engulfed in flames. Everyone inside, three hundred and one people, burned or died from suffocation.

Flight IR655

America never admitted its guilt, and no apologies were made to the families of the two hundred and ninety victims. However, the US authorities paid compensation in the amount of almost sixty-two million dollars.

American Airlines Flight 191

Plane crash near Donetsk

Its crash occurred over Donetsk. Almost three hundred people died. As you know, the Boeing fell into a zone of active military operations and was shot down.

The results of the investigation are due to be made public in 2018.

A321 crash over the Sinai Peninsula

Among those returning from vacation was a little ten-month-old girl, Darina Gromova. Her photograph at Pulkovo Airport, which her mother posted on a social network with the caption “Main Passenger,” became a symbol of the plane crash and was circulated by many media outlets. The A321 crash was the largest mass death of Russian citizens in the history of world aviation.

The worst plane crash to date The most terrible, unexpected and even ridiculous plane crash is considered to be the one that occurred in 1977. It claimed the lives of nearly six hundred people.

At the Tenerife airport in 1977, two large airliners collided during takeoff. We are talking about Boeing 747, owned by Dutch and American airlines. They ended up in Tenerife by chance. Airplanes were redirected there due to the terrorist attack that took place in Gran Canaria the day before.

The Boeings were moving along the taxiway towards each other and did not have time to avoid the collision. Five hundred and eighty-three people died in that disaster. Only sixty-one passengers managed to survive.

According to the site, the fastest aircraft in the world were taken out of service precisely because emergency situations often occurred with them.

It's considered an airplane. Road accidents are much more common than aircraft crashes. However, plane crashes are more widespread. Dozens, or even hundreds of people die in them. This is confirmed by the statistics of plane crashes in Russia.

Top 5 incidents by number of victims (2006−2015)

Over the past 10 years, aviation accidents have occurred for various reasons. In approximately 80% of cases, the cause of the crash was human error. Errors were made either by crew members or ground services.

Disaster in Irkutsk (2006)

The statistics of plane crashes in Russia over 10 years are sad. During this period, several major plane crashes occurred, claiming the lives of both adults and children. One of them happened on July 9, 2006. On that day, the Airbus A310-324 airliner, owned by Siberia Airlines, was making a passenger flight from Moscow to Irkutsk.

The aircraft flew safely to its destination and began to land. For some reason it was unable to stop on the runway. The plane rolled off the runway at high speed and crashed into a concrete barrier.

Due to the collision, the hull of the airliner collapsed. A fire started in the cabin. Some people survived thanks to the actions of the crew. If the conductors had not taken the necessary measures, the statistics of plane crashes in Russia would have been more terrifying.

One of the brave crew members turned out to be Andrei Dyakonov. To save people, a young flight attendant knocked down the door on the plane. Andrei Dyakonov himself did not have time to get out of the burning cabin. He let passengers out until the last moment.

Victoria Zilbershtein, who works as a flight attendant, performed a heroic feat. Due to a plane colliding with a concrete barrier, the girl found herself under a rubble of suitcases and chairs. Having got out from under it, the flight attendant began to make her way towards the emergency exit. She opened the hatch and began to let people out. Then she got out herself.

Tragedy near Donetsk (2006)

Statistics of plane crashes in the Russian Federation indicate that one of the large-scale plane crashes occurred on the morning of August 22, 2006. The Tu-154M aircraft, owned by the Russian company Pulkovo, took off from St. Petersburg. There were 10 crew members and 160 passengers on board. The people on this flight included 45 children.

While flying over the Donetsk region, the plane encountered unfavorable weather conditions - thunderstorms and heavy hail. The crew, trying to get out of difficult weather conditions, made a fatal mistake. The plane began to rapidly lose altitude, and then it crashed, crashing into the side of a ravine. All people on board were killed.

An investigation was carried out after the disaster. Statistics of aircraft crashes in Russia show that airliners often crash due to some problems that were not noticed by the crew in a timely manner. In this case, the cause of the tragedy was mistakes made by the pilots.

Plane crash in Perm (2008)

In the fall, the statistics of plane crashes in Russia was supplemented by another tragedy. On the night of September 14, an airliner of the Russian airline Aeroflot-Nord, Boeing 737-505, took off from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. The passenger flight was carried out to Perm. The flight went well, but at the moment of landing, tragedy struck. The airliner crashed a few kilometers short of the airport.

There were 6 crew members and 82 passengers on board the fatal flight. No one was destined to survive the plane crash. Among the dead were 7 children. An investigation conducted after the tragedy showed that the plane was fully operational. occurred due to errors by crew members.

Perhaps pilot fatigue played a fatal role. Before the tragic flight, they carried out several flights and did not have time to fully rest. One of the pilots was intoxicated. This was confirmed by a forensic medical examination.

Plane accident in Kazan (2013)

Statistics of passenger plane crashes in Russia include an event that occurred on the evening of November 17, 2013. A Tatarstan airline Boeing 737-500 aircraft took off from Domodedovo to Kazan. 44 people purchased tickets for the ill-fated flight. There were also 6 crew members on board.

The crash occurred during landing. The plane crashed into the ground and crashed. All people on the plane died. The cause of the fall was the commission of incorrect actions by crew members. Perhaps the pilots were not professionally trained enough. The investigation suspected that the deceased pilot-in-command had illegally obtained a commercial pilot's certificate.

Plane crash over Sinai (2015)

A terrorist act is one of the reasons why planes crashed in Russia. Statistics show that in 2015, the largest disaster occurred in our country due to the actions of militants - the Airbus A321 airliner crashed. The plane took off on October 31 from Sharm el-Sheikh towards St. Petersburg. However, the landing was not destined to happen.

23 minutes after takeoff from the Egyptian airport, radio contact with the airliner crew was lost. It later turned out that the plane crashed in the Sinai Peninsula. There were 217 passengers and 7 crew members on board. No one survived the plane crash. Among the dead were 25 children. The youngest passenger, who became a symbol of the tragedy, was only 10 months old.

The plane was created 18.5 years before the plane crash. At the date of the crash, the airliner was operated by the Russian Kogalymavia LLC. After the incident, several versions of the causes of the tragedy were put forward. Many believed that the plane crash was caused by Kogalymavia specialists who did not properly maintain the plane. The investigation showed that the crash occurred as a result of a terrorist attack.

The most reliable airlines in the Russian Federation

Several dozen air carriers are registered in Russia: Globus, Pobeda, Dexter, Kogalymavia (Metrojet), etc. To determine the reliability, a particular company is assessed according to various criteria. The main one is considered to be the technical safety of aircraft, because often plane crashes occur due to breakdowns.

The European Aviation Safety Agency has compiled a rating of the most reliable air carriers operating in the Russian Federation. The top three included companies such as Ural Airlines, S7 Airlines and Aeroflot.

"Ural Airlines"

The named company is considered the most reliable and safe in Russia. It has been operating regular flights to different parts of the world for more than 20 years. During this period, there were no major plane crashes in Russia. The airline's statistics are very good.

Only a few accidents are known. All incidents are related to engine problems. Aircraft commanders, when malfunctions were detected, decided to make emergency landings. There were never any casualties or injuries.

S7 Airlines

Second place in the list of the safest companies is occupied by S7 Airlines (Siberia). The history of this air carrier dates back to 1957, when the Tolmachevsky United Air Squadron was created. On its basis, in 1992, an airline called Sibir was created. In 2006, the brand was changed. The air carrier became known as S7 Airlines.

The history of this company includes a plane crash in Russia. The statistics of the air carrier S7 Airlines are as follows:

1. In the fall of 2001, a passenger plane flying from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk crashed. The airliner crashed straight into the Black Sea. The tragedy claimed the lives of 78 people. The plane crashed due to being hit by an anti-aircraft missile. It was launched during military exercises taking place at that moment on the Crimean peninsula.
2. At the end of August 2004, a plane flying from Moscow to Sochi crashed. There were 51 people on board. All crew members and passengers were killed. The cause of the tragedy was a terrorist attack.
3. In the summer of 2006, a plane crash occurred in Irkutsk, which was described above. The crew was unable to land. 125 people died.

Aeroflot

Airplane crash statistics for Russian airlines show that another safe air carrier is Aeroflot. He ranks third in the ranking. Aeroflot was founded in 1923. During the collapse of the USSR, many small air carriers separated from it. In 1992, JSC Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines was created. From this moment the modern history of the company begins.

Now Aeroflot is the largest air carrier in Russia. It operates international and domestic flights. During the period from 1992 to the present, there have been 4 plane crashes that have claimed lives. There are also 5 accidents reported without casualties.

The most famous plane crash is the tragedy that occurred near Mezhdurechensk. News about her spread all over the world. In the spring of 1994, a passenger plane flying from Moscow to Hong Kong crashed. The crash was caused by the pilot of the aircraft. The man put his 15-year-old son at the helm. 75 people died.

What are the statistics of plane crashes in Russia? A question that arises for many people who decide to go abroad or to another city in their native country. Based on the available information, we can conclude that major plane crashes are rare, given the huge number of flights that take place every day.

The biggest tragedy of 2015, in which 224 people died. The Airbus was flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, the plane belonged to the Kogalymavia company. An investigation into the fall is currently underway.
