On Monday, a Boeing 777 plane from Aeroflot, which traveled from Sheremetyevo Airport to Bangkok Airport with 313 passengers, entered the turbulence zone. The board collapsed into an air pit for 100-200 meters. The plane several times strongly shook.

Since everything happened 20 minutes before the start of the descent and 40 minutes before landing, and the passengers were not wearing seat belts, many were simply thrown out of the seats. The result was bruises, fractures of limbs and other injuries. Fortunately, the compression fracture of the spine in one of the passengers was not confirmed. Nevertheless, 27 passengers (24 Russians and 3 Thai) immediately after landing were hospitalized in the capital's clinics. The majority condition was assessed as moderate. On the same day, the victims began to operate. The next day in the clinics were 15 Russians (including one child) and 2 Thai, the rest suffered after the examination and first aid were discharged. On assurances of doctors, there are no casualties for the survivors of the hospital. Russian employees of the Russian consulate work with Russians. They are constantly in the hospital. A translator was sent to the same place.

It is necessary to carry out the cancellation of armor in hotels, postpone the time of settling, reissue tickets for transfer passengers. All the costs of reissuing and treating the consulate took over.

As it became known, the pilots were piloted by experienced pilots. The commander of the crew has a raid of more than 23,000 hours, the co-pilot - more than 11,500 hours. However, "turbulence of the clear sky" is a rare and unpredictable phenomenon. It is not determined by a meteorological locator. The crew is not even able to warn passengers that they are wearing seat belts.
