In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the senior pilot observer of the crash in the Boguchansky District, Vladimir Razumov, shared the story of the incident. It was published by representatives of the press service of the regional clinical hospital.
On May 25, Vladimir, together with an experienced aircraft commander, went on patrol from the runway in the village of Osinovy Mys, where the Chunoyarsk aviation department is based, on an Aeroprakt-22 light aircraft. They have been flying together for five years.

“We felt that the plane was shaking and decided to return. The engine is jammed. We locked eyes with the commander, he shouted that that’s it… And I told him: “Hold on!” They flew down like a stone, went into a tailspin and fell forward. I now realize that we shouldn’t have survived, it’s simply unrealistic,” Vladimir shares his impressions.
The plane fell from a height of about 50 meters onto young birch trees, which softened the “landing.” Vladimir said that after the fall he was convinced that he could move and checked his friend. His speech and consciousness were confused and his leg was clearly broken.
“I think we need to somehow get out… Gasoline is running from the wing, the tanks are full. I didn’t feel any pain, I understood that I had to help out my comrade before it exploded. He unfastened his seat belt and unfastened his colleague’s, and said: “Help me, I need to get out quickly,” says the pilot.
Vladimir dragged his colleague away from the plane, and together they waited for the air ambulance to board. At the hospital it turned out that the man had a compression fracture of several vertebrae, and the commander’s condition was more serious. Doctors cautiously talk about positive dynamics, but do not give forecasts yet.
“Today Vladimir Razumov was discharged from neurosurgical department No. 2 of the regional clinical hospital. He underwent the necessary surgery and has rehabilitation ahead. But the fact that the person was discharged from the hospital on the 4th day after a serious plane accident can be called a miracle, incredible luck or a sign from above,” the hospital noted.
The young man himself is worried that at the height of the “gardening season”, due to injuries, he will not be able to help his parents with planting in the garden. He does not consider himself a hero and is sure that in this situation any normal person would have acted this way.
