Planes that crashed this year. Your message has been sent, thank you for participating in the project. Crew error

It's considered an airplane. Road accidents are much more common than aircraft crashes. However, plane crashes are more widespread. Dozens, or even hundreds of people die in them. This is confirmed by the statistics of plane crashes in Russia.

Top 5 incidents by number of victims (2006−2015)

Over the past 10 years, aviation accidents have occurred for various reasons. In approximately 80% of cases, the cause of the crash was human error. Errors were made either by crew members or ground services.

Disaster in Irkutsk (2006)

The statistics of plane crashes in Russia over 10 years are sad. During this period, several major plane crashes occurred, claiming the lives of both adults and children. One of them happened on July 9, 2006. On that day, the Airbus A310-324 airliner, owned by Siberia Airlines, was making a passenger flight from Moscow to Irkutsk.

The aircraft flew safely to its destination and began to land. For some reason it was unable to stop on the runway. The plane rolled off the runway at high speed and crashed into a concrete barrier.

Due to the collision, the hull of the airliner collapsed. A fire started in the cabin. Some people survived thanks to the actions of the crew. If the conductors had not taken the necessary measures, the statistics of plane crashes in Russia would have been more terrifying.

One of the brave crew members turned out to be Andrei Dyakonov. To save people, a young flight attendant knocked down the door on the plane. Andrei Dyakonov himself did not have time to get out of the burning cabin. He let passengers out until the last moment.

Victoria Zilbershtein, who works as a flight attendant, performed a heroic feat. Due to a plane colliding with a concrete barrier, the girl found herself under a rubble of suitcases and chairs. Having got out from under it, the flight attendant began to make her way towards the emergency exit. She opened the hatch and began to let people out. Then she got out herself.

Tragedy near Donetsk (2006)

Statistics of plane crashes in the Russian Federation indicate that one of the large-scale plane crashes occurred on the morning of August 22, 2006. The Tu-154M aircraft, owned by the Russian company Pulkovo, took off from St. Petersburg. There were 10 crew members and 160 passengers on board. The people on the flight included 45 children.

While flying over the Donetsk region, the plane encountered unfavorable weather conditions - thunderstorms and heavy hail. The crew, trying to get out of difficult weather conditions, made a fatal mistake. The plane began to rapidly lose altitude, and then it crashed, crashing into the side of a ravine. All people on board were killed.

An investigation was carried out after the disaster. Statistics of aircraft crashes in Russia show that airliners often crash due to some problems that were not noticed by the crew in a timely manner. In this case, the cause of the tragedy was mistakes made by the pilots.

Plane crash in Perm (2008)

In the fall, the statistics of plane crashes in Russia was supplemented by another tragedy. On the night of September 14, an airliner of the Russian airline Aeroflot-Nord, Boeing 737-505, took off from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. The passenger flight was carried out to Perm. The flight went well, but at the moment of landing, tragedy struck. The airliner crashed a few kilometers short of the airport.

There were 6 crew members and 82 passengers on board the fatal flight. No one was destined to survive the plane crash. Among the dead were 7 children. An investigation conducted after the tragedy showed that the plane was fully operational. occurred due to errors by crew members.

Perhaps pilot fatigue played a fatal role. Before the tragic flight, they carried out several flights and did not have time to fully rest. One of the pilots was intoxicated. This was confirmed by a forensic medical examination.

Plane accident in Kazan (2013)

Statistics of passenger plane crashes in Russia include an event that occurred on the evening of November 17, 2013. A Tatarstan airline Boeing 737-500 aircraft took off from Domodedovo to Kazan. 44 people purchased tickets for the ill-fated flight. There were also 6 crew members on board.

The crash occurred during landing. The plane crashed into the ground and crashed. All people on the plane died. The cause of the fall was the commission of incorrect actions by crew members. Perhaps the pilots were not professionally trained enough. The investigation suspected that the deceased pilot-in-command had illegally obtained a commercial pilot's certificate.

Plane crash over Sinai (2015)

A terrorist act is one of the reasons why planes crashed in Russia. Statistics show that in 2015, the largest disaster occurred in our country due to the actions of militants - the Airbus A321 airliner crashed. The plane took off on October 31 from Sharm el-Sheikh towards St. Petersburg. However, the landing was not destined to happen.

23 minutes after takeoff from the Egyptian airport, radio contact with the airliner crew was lost. It later turned out that the plane crashed in the Sinai Peninsula. There were 217 passengers and 7 crew members on board. No one survived the plane crash. Among the dead were 25 children. The youngest passenger, who became a symbol of the tragedy, was only 10 months old.

The plane was created 18.5 years before the plane crash. At the date of the crash, the airliner was operated by the Russian Kogalymavia LLC. After the incident, several versions of the causes of the tragedy were put forward. Many believed that the plane crash was caused by Kogalymavia specialists who did not properly maintain the plane. The investigation showed that the crash occurred as a result of a terrorist attack.

The most reliable airlines in the Russian Federation

Several dozen air carriers are registered in Russia: Globus, Pobeda, Dexter, Kogalymavia (Metrojet), etc. To determine the reliability, a particular company is assessed according to various criteria. The main one is considered to be the technical safety of aircraft, because often plane crashes occur due to breakdowns.

The European Aviation Safety Agency has compiled a rating of the most reliable air carriers operating in the Russian Federation. The top three included companies such as Ural Airlines, S7 Airlines and Aeroflot.

"Ural Airlines"

The named company is considered the most reliable and safe in Russia. It has been operating regular flights to different parts of the world for more than 20 years. During this period, there were no major plane crashes in Russia. The airline's statistics are very good.

Only a few accidents are known. All incidents are related to engine problems. Aircraft commanders, when malfunctions were detected, decided to make emergency landings. There were never any casualties or injuries.

S7 Airlines

Second place in the list of the safest companies is occupied by S7 Airlines (Siberia). The history of this air carrier dates back to 1957, when the Tolmachevsky United Air Squadron was created. On its basis, in 1992, an airline called Sibir was created. In 2006, the brand was changed. The air carrier became known as S7 Airlines.

The history of this company includes a plane crash in Russia. The statistics of the air carrier S7 Airlines are as follows:

In the fall of 2001, a passenger plane flying from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk crashed. The airliner crashed straight into the Black Sea. The tragedy claimed the lives of 78 people. The plane crashed due to being hit by an anti-aircraft missile. It was launched during military exercises taking place at that moment on the Crimean peninsula.
At the end of August 2004, a plane flying from Moscow to Sochi crashed. There were 51 people on board. All crew members and passengers were killed. The cause of the tragedy was a terrorist attack.
In the summer of 2006, a plane crash occurred in Irkutsk, which was described above. The crew was unable to land. 125 people died.

Aeroflot

Airplane crash statistics for Russian airlines show that another safe air carrier is Aeroflot. He ranks third in the ranking. Aeroflot was founded in 1923. During the collapse of the USSR, many small air carriers separated from it. In 1992, JSC Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines was created. From this moment the modern history of the company begins.

Now Aeroflot is the largest air carrier in Russia. It operates international and domestic flights. During the period from 1992 to the present, there have been 4 plane crashes that have claimed lives. There are also 5 accidents reported without casualties.

The most famous plane crash is the tragedy that occurred near Mezhdurechensk. News about her spread all over the world. In the spring of 1994, a passenger plane flying from Moscow to Hong Kong crashed. The crash was caused by the pilot of the aircraft. The man put his 15-year-old son at the helm. 75 people died.

What are the statistics of plane crashes in Russia? A question that arises for many people who decide to go abroad or to another city in their native country. Based on the available information, we can conclude that major plane crashes are rare, given the huge number of flights that take place every day.

Why do planes crash, which ones are the most dangerous? Each case is unique in its own way, it could be a technical malfunction, pilot error or accident, in addition, some airports are quite dangerous in themselves. News of disasters always attracts people's attention, even if they did not know any of the dead or injured. Recently, there has been a trend towards an increase in the number of plane crashes.
