A Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft of Azimut Airlines flying from Sochi to Antalya…
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft of Azimuth Airlines, flying from Sochi to Antalya, caught fire after a hard landing at a Turkish airport. Main:
— The plane landed at 21:34; before that, according to passengers, it had been descending for a long time. After the plane touched the ground, passengers felt a hard blow.
“After that, fuel spilled onto the runway and the plane caught fire. Black smoke poured into the cabin.
— Turkish firefighters began extinguishing the plane at 21:36, two minutes after landing. According to eyewitnesses, by the 30th second they had already dealt with the fire.
— People were evacuated via inflatable slides: the SSJ-100 crew worked quickly. No one was hurt. By 21:43 all passengers and crew had already left the plane.
— The passengers were saved by the fact that the kerosene caught fire on the concrete of the runway after a leak. The fire miraculously did not have time to spread to the side itself.
— Azimuth Airlines named the cause of the incident as extremely strong winds – a weather apocalypse has been going on in Turkey for several days.
— The plane that burned down was seven years old. A month ago, his landing gear doors were damaged and he had to land in Vnukovo due to a failure of the hydraulic system. Then the passengers were evacuated, and the plane was grounded from flights. During inspection, specialists discovered a hole in the landing gear door.
— This is the weak point of all superjets. In 2019, during an accident in Sheremetyevo, the landing gear pierced the fuel tanks due to a hard landing. A fire started, killing 41 people.
— The aircraft was controlled by the aircraft’s captain Vladimir Chernov, his assistants — trainee captain Andrei Pryadkin (he told us that everything was fine with them) and co-pilot Dmitry Podrubilin.
