In addition to the engine, the plane's left landing gear was damaged due to a hard landing. Superjets have long had questions about the quality of the latter.
Turkish firefighters responded to the emergency quickly – it took only 30 seconds to extinguish the fire. During this time, the airliner's crew promptly removed passengers from the smoky cabin of the plane.
A month ago, the landing gear doors were damaged at the side when he was forced 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. No one was hurt.
The chassis is the weak point of this model. In May 2019, during a hard landing of the SSJ-100 at Sheremetyevo, the landing gear pierced the fuel tanks. Then 41 people died.
