  2. К сожалению это был учебно тренировочный полет. На взлете попала птица в двигатель. Двигатель разрушился и одной из лопаток повредило управление механизацией. В дальнейшем отказал еще один двигатель с той же стороны. Экипаж погиб.

  3. 3 remaining engines, minimal fire and plenty of air speed near the field. Normally this wouldn’t end this way. Either there was another critical system failure or crew competency was an issue.

  5. How is this possible, in Russia the most modern airplanes fly with state-of-the-art dashboard fans, and the seats are upholstered with flower-patterned fabric knotted by grandma. Not to mention the ultra-modern avionics and radar technology! What a joke!
