Contradictory data come about the number of deaths in a plane crash with parachutists in the Kemerovo region. According to DOSAAF of Russia, which owns the aircraft, there may be nine victims.
Twin-engine aircraft L-410 performed a training flight from the Tanai airfield near the village of Zhuravlevo in the Kemerovo Region. There were about 20 people on board.. Shortly before the crash, the pilot reported the failure of one of the engines..
According to the transport prosecutor's office, the commander decided to return to the airfield, but when descending, the plane collided with a forest and fell. The fuselage actually turned into a heap of twisted metal, wreckage everywhere - photos from the crash site were published on social networks. How many dead is not known for certain. According to the Voluntary Society for Assistance to the Army, Aviation and Navy of Russia, there are nine. At the same time, four victims are reported in the regional center of disaster medicine.. According to the emergency services, seven people died.
On board the plane that crashed in the Kemerovo region were sports parachutists, some of them are very experienced. Today it was planned to jump from a height of four thousand meters.
The tragedy occurred during takeoff - the plane could not gain speed and altitude for a long time, climbed to a hundred meters, and then began to descend and eventually caught its wing on the ground and crashed, capsizing. As a result, those who were sitting in the front of the cabin suffered much more seriously or even died, and those who were located in the tail got off with easier injuries..
As noted, one of the reasons for the crash could be the failure of the aircraft's right engine - it was because of it that the pilots were unable to lift the car into the air..
The aircraft itself, by the way, was regularly checked and serviced by technicians - and the last time I received a flight certificate was only one and a half to two months ago..
Also called different numbers of victims. It is known that several paratroopers are in serious condition, they were taken to the hospital by helicopter. The organization that owns the plane claims that it was serviceable, this was the fourth flight in a day.. At the same time, they suggested that a technical breakdown could have been the cause of the crash..
