What happens after a plane crash: a video was taken of rescuers entering a plane that fell into the water. Latest Plane Crash: Terrible plane crashes in recent years What happened to the flight
October 31, 2015, flight Sharm el-Sheikh - St. Petersburg. Someone looks through photos on their phone, imagining how they will tell their family and friends about their vacation. Married couples calm down children who are acting too violently in the morning - and are probably afraid to fly. Departure was on schedule, we headed straight into the sky. The very next day, the media circulated a photo of the “main passenger” - ten-month-old Darina Gromova. This photograph will become a kind of symbol of the fateful Airbus flight 321, from which none of the 224 people returned alive.
"Flight in normal mode"
The plane took off safely and began to climb at 6:50 Moscow time. Everything is going as normal, when suddenly after 23 minutes the dispatchers lose contact with the crew.
Meanwhile, at the St. Petersburg Pulkovo airport they report that the flight is delayed “by technical reasons". Time is postponed once, they are postponed twice... In Russia, they try not to think about the worst and nervously wait for messages from relatives: about an emergency landing, or about anything, as long as they write. When the flowers have already begun to fade, and the message about the next one is lit up on the board rescheduling the flight, the nerves of the relatives could not stand it: calls began pouring in to the Kogalymavia airline and the tour operator Brisco, “We’re figuring everything out,” “Don’t worry,” people heard in different authorities.
And then came the news that flashed through everyone’s head, but they refused to believe. It was not immediately known that everyone had died. One of the rescuers who immediately moved to the scene after the crash reported that he heard the voices of passengers coming from under the wreckage of the liner. Within minutes it became clear: I hadn’t heard, it seemed.
Main passenger
A photograph of ten-month-old Darina Gromova from Gatchina, taken at Pulkovo airport, seemed to have gone around all the well-known Russian media and was circulated on social networks. The photograph became one of the symbols of that terrible tragedy.
Son, Alexey, wanted to be a pilot. Only I didn’t allow it,” Darina’s grandmother Elena later told Life.
Alexey's father was a military pilot for 30 years. The young man himself graduated from a technical specialty and went to work for an IT company. Here he met Tatyana. The young people got married a little more than a year before the tragedy. The young man’s social network page, which is still accessible, contains many photos of the couple in love, taken on their wedding day.
Tatyana called her daughter “the main passenger.” Before the flight from Pulkovo, she photographed a girl who was pressing her hands against the glass and posted the picture on social networks.
Darina’s grandmother suggested that parents not take their child on the flight: he would be scared and would not tolerate it well. But they didn’t listen: the child needed to bask in the sun.
"I won't live without her"
October 31st was a tragedy for thousands of people. Svetlana Dudochkina’s husband, Anatoly, was unable to fly with his wife on vacation that time. The couple had been to Egypt more than once, so the woman knew quite well how to behave at the resort. His warning seemed even more strange.
It was the first time she went on vacation without me. I told her that if something happens, I won’t survive without her. “I don’t want to live anymore, I’m not interested,” Anatoly said after the crash.
The woman went on vacation in the company of her daughter and two young grandchildren. But the daughter decided to stay another day or two, since there was an opportunity to rest longer. As a result, only Svetlana of the whole family boarded the fateful flight.
Birthday gift
On October 27, the common-law wife of the then deputy head of Pskov, Alexandra Kopylova, celebrated her birthday. He bought trips for himself and his beloved, Elena Melnikova. They didn’t want to let me go from work, but the deputy head of the city persuaded me to do it. He argued that the reason was too weighty.
The man met his future common-law wife at work. The fact is that Elena is the head of the personnel department in the Pskov City Duma. Alexander’s wife died several years earlier, Elena was divorced. They had been together for about a year at that point.
All the time on vacation, Elena talked on social networks about how they had a very good rest - swimming, sunbathing and generally having a blast. I went online for the last time three hours before the fateful flight.
“A little more and I’ll leave aviation”
Senior flight attendant, 38-year-old Valentina Martsevich, who devoted 12 years to the sky, planned to retire from aviation in the near future. I wanted peace of mind and made plans for a calm family life. Valentina's husband, Maxim, is the commander of the aircraft. At that moment he was on a China Airlines flight.
Valentina herself is from Anapa, she was working at the Krasnodar airport when she met her future husband. Soon they moved to Moscow together. He is always on the flight, she is on the next flight. Tired of seeing my husband and family in fits and starts.
On October 5, her birthday, she flew home to hug her mother. Friends later recalled that she behaved quite strangely: she spoke strangely, smiled strangely, and took a lot of pictures.
While returning to Moscow, shortly before the fateful flight, the woman got scared for the first time in her life while boarding. She told her friends how the plane was shaking and she was afraid that the pilots would not land the plane successfully.
"Fluffy, I'm waiting"
Flight attendant Marina Okhotnikova was supposed to meet her steward husband Andrei Belomestnov at Domodedovo on November 1. The plan looked like this: Andrey lands in Pulkovo, rests, and then goes to Moscow as a passenger. 20 minutes after its arrival in the capital, it lands. The young people were planning an unforgettable weekend.
The couple had a tradition: all four years that they were together, Andrei sent his beloved SMS during such “intersections” with the same text: “Fluffy, I’m already waiting for you.” This time there was no message. Andrei was supposed to turn 30 in November...
Versions
Experts considered four main versions of the plane crash: a technical malfunction, a pilot error, that the plane was shot down, and an explosion.
Technical problem
The first version that investigators began to consider was a technical malfunction. Allegedly the liner had defects. For example, 14 years before the tragedy, in November 2001, at Cairo airport, the airliner landed unsuccessfully and hit the ground with its tail. At that time it was still owned by Middle East Airlines. After the incident, the aircraft was repaired and sold. After that, it was chartered by various airlines until it finally “settled” at Kogalymavia in 2012.
You can say whatever you want about this airline, but any aircraft of any carrier undergoes inspection before a new flight. In addition, the boards undergo technical checks. So, the engines of the airliner were examined five days before the tragedy. And it is unlikely that the experts would have missed such a significant malfunction that could have caused the plane to crash. This point of view was confirmed by the airline. In addition, experienced pilots have repeatedly said that none of the crew members would risk their own lives, but would simply refuse to fly if in doubt.
Another fact speaks against the version of a malfunction: on the eve of the crash, the Airbus was flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to Samara and back. After that, it underwent maintenance at the Egyptian airport; no critical problems were recorded.
A week after the tragedy, IAC representatives said that until the recording of the recorders stopped, the flight proceeded as usual; information about failures of the aircraft’s systems and components was not recorded on the parametric recorder.
Crew error
This version became the second. Allegedly, the pilots could panic and behave incorrectly in a critical situation. This version was denied by the Federal Air Transport Agency on the same day. PIC Valery Nemov was originally a military pilot, and after his retirement (the man was 48 years old) he retrained as a pilot civil aviation V training center AmurAir in Turkey. His total flight experience is 3,682 hours, of which 1,100 hours were as an aircraft commander.
The co-pilot, 45-year-old Sergei Trukhachev, had 5,641 flight hours under his belt - more than the PIC. He underwent special training in the Czech Republic to fly the A321.
The Kogalymavia pilots themselves ruled out the possibility of an error: they posted a letter on the Internet just a few hours after the tragedy, where they claimed that there could be no error.
Shot down
Shortly after the crash, ISIS militants claimed responsibility for the plane crash. They even published a video where the aircraft was allegedly shot down. It soon turned out that the video was nothing more than a fake, and no one shot down the Russian airliner.
After a preliminary inspection of the wreckage of the plane, it became clear to experts that no one had fired at it.
The plane broke up in the air. Initially, the tail section was torn off, and then the entire airliner began to disintegrate. The wreckage of the aircraft was located at a distance of about 40 km from each other, the tail and nose were at a distance of 5 km.
Terrorist attack
This version is a priority. The media began to write that there was a bomb on board a few hours after the tragedy. Within a month, the fact of the explosion was confirmed by Russian experts. Thus, on November 16, 2015, the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, at a meeting in the Kremlin for the first time officially stated that what happened was a terrorist attack.
It was initially assumed that the bomb was planted between the passenger seats in the 30th row. However, later experts came to the conclusion that an improvised explosive device with a capacity of up to 1 kg in TNT equivalent was located in the tail section, next to the baby strollers. A timer installed in the bomb counted down how many more minutes the 224 people would live. After the explosion, the tail section of the airliner was torn off, and it went into an uncontrolled dive.
For a long time, Egyptian officials did not officially recognize the incident as a terrorist attack (according to one version, for fear of multimillion-dollar lawsuits from relatives of the victims). Cairo called for waiting for the official results of the investigation, which, by the way, are still missing. However, in February 2017, the representative of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Ahmed Abu Zeid, somewhat admitted that a terrorist attack had occurred on board.
Dozens or even hundreds of people became victims of terrorist operations, including as a result of the crash of a Russian airliner in the Sinai, he said.

Why was the Boeing that went missing over the Indian Ocean first looked for in the wrong place, and when the wreckage was found, they looked for it for only a few days, and then abandoned the search altogether? And no one is embarrassed that new plane wreckage continues to be found, but let’s talk about everything in order.
New information has emerged about the airline's Boeing 777–200 Malaysia Airlines MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
The plane disappeared on the night of March 8, 2014, but despite the development of modern search engines, it has not been possible to find the 63-meter plane until today.
Even after a year and a half, the search did not yield much results, only mysterious white objects were periodically found, which, it is assumed, could be fragments of the missing plane.
The last hope for continuing the search was fueled by the found radio signal of the black box, but soon it too disappeared. Whether this was a signal from the missing plane is still unknown.
July 29, 2015 on Reunion Island in Indian Ocean managed to find a fragment of a wing and a door of the plane.
After the Malaysian authorities confirmed that the found fragments belonged to the missing airliner, relatives of the passengers of the missing Boeing staged a real protest in Beijing. After all, the search was initially conducted in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. The enormous resources of the 26 states that took part in the search were essentially wasted, because, according to relatives dead passengers, in Kuala Lumpur they had long known about the deviation of the plane’s course, but continued to conduct searches in the areas indicated above.
Why was society misinformed?
An interesting version was put forward by the former head of the French airlines Proteus Airlines, Marc Dugen. In his opinion, the plane was deliberately shot down by the American military. This was done due to US Security Service suspicions that the airliner had been hijacked by terrorists and, In order to prevent terrorist attacks similar to those of September 11, the Americans were forced to shoot down the plane.
Ground controllers lost contact with the plane as it was over the South China Sea and entering Chinese airspace.
Malaysian authorities say the airliner turned into westward and, according to military radar data, was last seen over the Strait of Malacca, heading in the opposite direction from its original route. Based on these arguments, it can be concluded that the aircraft changed course after contact was lost.
According to Dugen, the United States even knows where to look for the wreckage of the Boeing 777-200, so they are officially searching in another place, distant from where the plane actually crashed. He suggests that the airliner crashed near military base USA, located in the Indian Ocean on the island of Diego Garcia.
In order not to be held responsible for the murder of 227 passengers and 12 crew members, the Americans are trying to lead the search for the missing Boeing to a dead end. And perhaps we would never have known the truth about this disaster if the wreckage of the plane had not been washed ashore on Reunion Island.
By the way, searches in this area have been suspended, and they lasted only 10 days.
This raises a completely logical question: If the search for the plane took months in the South China Sea, then why in this case was the search completed so quickly?
Don't you think this is strange? And maybe there really is something upstream?
The found debris was sent for examination to Australia. A number on one of the recovered aircraft pieces indicates it belongs to the missing Boeing 777 flight MH370.
Now everything comes together.
The wreckage of the plane was carried away by the current. Some of them were carried by the Mozambique Current.
It doesn’t take several years to come to this conclusion. It’s just that over time, the secret still becomes apparent and the intention to hide the facts becomes obvious.

The FBI has revealed the secret of the commander of the missing Malaysian Boeing.
The US FBI has released one version of the plane crash Malaysian Boeing, following the route Kuala Lumpur - Beijing, in March 2014, TASS reports citing the American magazine New York.
From all this we can conclude that some people decided to prevent the development of camouflage technologies in order to maintain a monopoly on their ownership or, conversely, to steal scientists along with the technologies. In any case, it is clear that someone is slowing down the investigation and leading on the wrong trail.
06 01 18 The Malaysian government approved a new attempt to find the wreckage of flight MH 370. The Ocean Infinity campaign will do this. The costs of searching for the missing aircraft will only be paid if it is found. Ocean Infinity will search near Australian waters over an area of 25,000 km².
For comparison, the search area for this aircraft in the Indian Ocean was 710,000 km². According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), it was the largest aviation search in history. At the same time, satellite images were studied and ocean drifts were studied. The ATSB report said the chances of finding the plane were now much higher. Let's see what happens.
Airbus A321 flight 9268 of Kogalymavia Airlines (Metrojet brand) crashed and disappeared from radar on the morning of Saturday, October 31. There were 224 people on board the plane - passengers, children, 7 crew members, all of them were Russians. The airliner was operating a “tourist” flight between Sharm El-Sheikh and St. Petersburg.
The latest information about the disaster can also be read on Twitter using the hashtag #KogalymAvia And #7k9268 .
The Egyptian authorities officially confirmed the plane crash and began searching for the wreckage with the army, while the Turkish aviation authorities reported that the airliner had entered their airspace. At the same time, the media previously stated that the airliner continued its flight, but the official press of Cairo states that the plane crash did occur, and the wreckage of the airliner is in Sinai.
The most eloquent illustration is the Flightradar system, which allows you to track any civilian aircraft in the world that have special transponders. According to Flightradar it is seen that the plane "descended at approximately 6,000 feet per minute (110 km/h) before the signal was lost" 23 minutes after takeoff.
The press also reports that the airliner's crew reported malfunctions; some journalists say that the PIC and co-pilot requested an emergency landing - however, this information has not yet been confirmed.
Let us note that many pilots and aviation experts, speaking about plane crashes, recalled that an engine failure (without destroying the engine or the aircraft) does not lead to the crash of airliners - they can glide even with all engines turned off to the nearest airfield (this has also happened in the history of aviation - media they remember both the emergency landing of the Tu-204 and the “Gimli glider”).
“The plane crashed in a closed military zone. Counter-terrorism operations are being carried out there,” reports VGTRK.
State of emergency declared in North Sinai in Egypt due to crash Russian plane, the Prime Minister of Egypt, rescuers and military personnel went to the crash site.
Reuters reports that "the screams of surviving passengers may be heard at the crash site."
“The CREW OF THE CRASHED RUSSIAN AIRLINER COMPLAINED ABOUT ENGINE PROBLEMS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK,” news agencies report.
"Egyptian emergency services began removing the bodies of those killed in the Russian A-321 crash on Sinai Peninsula",- reports AFP. The disaster site is cordoned off and protected from looters.
"The bodies of five children have been found; the Russian plane that crashed in Sinai has broken into two parts," AFP said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his deepest condolences to the relatives of those killed in the Kogalymavia plane crash, ordering rescuers to be sent to the scene of the tragedy.
“The total flight time of the 48-year-old commander of the plane that crashed in Egypt was 3,682 hours. Of these, Valery Nemov flew 1,100 hours as an aircraft commander,” Lifenews.ru said.
“As it became known, before flying on an A-321 type aircraft, Valery Nemov flew a TU-154. The pilot was retrained at the AmurAir training center located in Turkey,” the press adds, calling the PIC a professional pilot.
It became known that at least one of the passengers on the flight posted a photo of the plane and her husband and daughter before takeoff, writing " we're flying home ".
“According to the Egyptian side, the plane was trying to land at El-Arish airfield,” the Russian Embassy reported.
“As it became known, about a hundred bodies of passengers were pulled out from under the wreckage of a Russian airliner that crashed 100 kilometers from El-Arish in the north of the Sinai Peninsula,” reports Egypt Independet.
“Eyewitnesses say that the plane that crashed in Egypt was burning in the air,” Kommersant FM reported.
Media reported that rescuers found one of the flight recorders - black boxes - at the scene of the tragedy.
President Vladimir Putin declared mourning on November 1 in connection with the crash of a Russian airliner in Egypt.
The bodies of all 17 children were found at the A-321 crash site in Egypt. RIA Novosti reports with reference to a civil aviation representative.
As Gazeta.Ru found out, travel company Brisco, whose clients were flying on the crashed plane, and Kogalymavia airline are owned by the same people.
“Either a fire in the central/tail section, or an engine fire spreading throughout the entire nacelle with subsequent thermal destruction of the wing,” they write on a professional pilot forum.
The local Bedouin tribe Al Tayaha saw a Russian Kogalymavia airliner crash on the Sinai Peninsula. According to the nomads, the Airbus A321 burst into flames in the air, in particular, they saw one of the plane’s engines burning.
"Many died in seats wearing seat belts," Egyptian intelligence official/Reuters
The office of the owner of the Kogalymavia airline on Stoleshnikov Lane in Moscow is being searched. Law enforcement officers are seizing documents and electronic media from the office, media reports.
Egyptian aviation authorities do not rule out that the plane crash Russian airline“Kogalymavia” in Egypt occurred due to a terrorist attack, CBS Extra reports. “This version is unlikely, since terrorists in the region do not have appropriate weapons - anti-aircraft missile systems, because the plane was at an altitude of more than 6 thousand meters,” experts say.
“A couple of months ago, rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Sinai. In Syria and Libya, Islamists captured dozens of C125 and C200 complexes. In Yemen, firefights are taking place using Point U, and the Saudis have deployed Patriots along the entire border,” they write on social networks.
"According to a representative of the Egyptian investigation committee aviation incidents Ayman al-Mugadem, the pilot warned ground controllers that the plane had a “technical problem” and needed to land as soon as possible,” Izvestia reported.
Egyptian authorities said no one survived the Russian plane crash, Reuters reported.
Before taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh, the crashed plane underwent the necessary technical checks and no faults were identified, said the head of the Egyptian airport company Adel Mahgoub. “A technical inspection of the aircraft was carried out and its airworthiness was confirmed,” he emphasized.
Airbus 321, flying from Antalya, Turkey to Chelyabinsk, urgently landed in Volgograd. The reason was an unexpected depressurization of the cabin, due to which the landing of the aircraft, flying at an altitude of 10 thousand meters, took a little more than five minutes. According to passengers, when the oxygen masks suddenly fell out, the crew did not explain anything, since none of them spoke Russian.
Depressurization
An A321 of the Turkish airline Onur Air made an emergency landing on May 20 at 22:50. The liner was carrying 226 tourists from the resort of Antalya to Chelyabinsk. Not far from Volgograd, a plane was flying at an altitude of 10 thousand meters, and oxygen masks fell out of the panels. However, none of the crew members spoke Russian and could not clearly explain to the frightened passengers what was happening.
“It shook violently and the oxygen masks fell out. The crew is Turkish. Nobody speaks Russian. No one could explain anything,” said passenger Alexey Sankov.
In just five minutes, the plane dropped from 10 thousand meters to 500. Because of what was happening on board, panic arose, some people were baptized, children were crying. Passengers learned the reason for the emergency landing after landing at Gumrak airport.
“God forbid anyone should experience this. Emergency landing in five minutes instead of the required 30, thousands of kilometers from home. You begin to appreciate what is given from birth - life,” wrote Olga Chernysheva.
Another passenger on the ill-fated flight posted a video taken at the moment of landing. In the footage, children can be heard crying. After landing, people began to congratulate each other on their birthday.
Seven hours without food or tea
Fortunately, the landing was successful and no one was injured. The passengers were placed at the airport, promising to bring a reserve plane in the morning and send everyone home.
“We are now sitting in Volgograd. We’ll just fly home at 08:45,” Sankov said.
Olga Chernysheva explained that Onur Air representatives did not provide tourists with either hot drinks or food even after seven hours of waiting for the flight.
“We’ve been waiting in Volgograd for eight hours for another plane from Turkey. Buy it like this package tour, the carrier is Turkish, no one on the plane speaks Russian at all, all that was provided to us at the Volgograd airport was water,” the girl complained.
Airport spokeswoman Diana Bakulina confirmed to Interfax information about the depressurization of the cabin. After boarding, passengers with children were taken to the hotel, the rest were accommodated in terminals C and C2. “Emergency medical personnel worked at the airport, and passengers were provided with psychological assistance,” she added.
Because of emergency landing The leadership of the Volgograd Transport Prosecutor's Office initiated an inspection of compliance with safety requirements for the transportation of passengers.
“The Volgograd Transport Prosecutor’s Office organized an inspection of compliance with flight safety legislation following an emergency landing of an Airbus 321 aircraft operating flight No. 877 of the OnurAir airline on the Antalya-Chelyabinsk route,” the department reported.
Nothing fatal happened
Honored Pilot of Russia and former flight director of Vnukovo Airlines Yuri Sytnik explained to 360 that depressurization of any aircraft is a special case in flight. During such incidents, the pre-trained crew performs special actions to lower the board from the flight level to an altitude of 3.6-3.9 thousand meters and continues the flight to the first airfield, because at an altitude of four thousand meters there is enough oxygen to prevent passengers from there would have been fainting and people would not have been harmed.
A321s can fly with one working air conditioning system, so if one was no longer working and the backup one failed en route, then you have to make an emergency landing at an intermediate airport. For crew members, this is a normal situation; they practice this in simulators and in classes. There was nothing bad for passengers
Yuri Sytnik.
“If there was no previous explosion, then depressurization does not occur immediately, and air continues to flow into the cabin. If the elements of the main air conditioning system break down and fail, the captain of the ship turns on the backup system and makes a decision to land at the destination airport or at an intermediate airfield,” said the pilot.
There is nothing particularly terrible, the expert assured, in such situations. There are, he noted, malfunctions of the valves, the inflation system, or mechanical damage - some hatch comes off, or somewhere the trunk or door is closed incorrectly, although the crew, as a rule, notices the latter immediately after takeoff. Therefore, in the case of the Turkish Airbus, we are most likely talking about a system malfunction.
In such situations, the pilot noted, the commander may or may not inform passengers that due to a malfunction in the air conditioning system the plane will make an unscheduled landing. It is advisable to inform, Sytnik clarified, this will help avoid panic on board. But, it’s better not to go into details, otherwise the opposite may happen: people will get scared and the panic will intensify.
“Perhaps the crew themselves did not understand what was wrong with the plane and they needed time to figure it out. But it’s better, of course, to warn people so that they don’t panic and understand what’s happening to them and the plane. But this issue is decided by the ship’s commander,” the expert said.
In the current situation, there was nothing mortally dangerous for the passengers, the expert concluded. Every year, thousands of similar incidents occur around the world, which no one except the airlines knows about.
