Miraculously, he sat down: in Russia, a passenger plane collided with a flock of birds, both engines failed. A PHOTO. VIDEO

“On takeoff, after lifting off the runway, the plane collided with a flock of seagulls, which hit the engines and led to significant disruptions in their operation,” said a representative of the Federal Air Transport Agency. The Airbus then landed on the field.

One engine stalled due to damage, and the second lost two-thirds of its thrust, and under such circumstances the airliner could not maneuver to return to the airport. Therefore, the pilots made the only correct decision - they chose the safest place in the field and landed the aircraft.

As a result of birds hitting both engines, they turned off and the crew landed “a kilometer from the runway,” said Ural Airlines CEO Sergei Skuratov.

The Federal Air Transport Agency confirmed that the emergency landing of the aircraft took place on a corn field between the near and far beacon of the airfield landing system at a distance of more than a kilometer from the runway.

“The pilots did everything according to the instructions and turned off the engines when landing,” Skuratov said. There was no risk of fire, he said.

What about the passengers

On board were 224 passengers and seven crew members.

One of the passengers posted on Twitter photos and videos of the plane standing in a field and the comment: “Alive is good.”

“We are being evacuated, guys, I am grateful to the pilots no less than to God, and the fact that we landed in an emergency and did not fall is good, but I am not strong in terminology, I am pleased with the words of people who are glad that we survived, thank you,” another passenger wrote on social media.

According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, all those on board were evacuated. There are no dead.

“Some passengers received minor injuries as the plane landed without landing gear,” said the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Evgeny Kuyvashev.

“The engine slammed several times, they tried to start it again, but we started falling, I held on to the cross, I definitely believe in God now,” he added.

“We flew for less than two minutes and made an emergency landing in a field,” writes user congratulations_sss on Instagram.

The telegram channel Baza has published a video where the moment of landing on the field is allegedly captured.

74 person sought medical help, according to the Ministry of Emergencies. 29 passengers were delivered to hospitals, of which 10 are children.

Only one woman remained in the hospital. “We had one hospitalization. This is a woman in moderate condition, with a bruise of the lumbar spine,” Andrey Fadeev, chief physician of the Ramenskaya Central District Hospital, told reporters.

According to other sources, 55 people asked for medical help, of which 17 were children.

"Once every 50 years"

A criminal case has been opened on violation of safety rules.

“[The pilots] worked precisely, according to the instructions, exactly as they were taught. Before the emergency landing, the engines were turned off as required,” said the airline’s CEO.

“This happens extremely rarely - maybe once every 50 years,” Skuratov said. - And the birds were so large - seagulls or crows. It’s good that the crew acted correctly.”

“Especially many thanks to the flight attendants, our girls. They didn’t get confused and organized the evacuation well,” he added.

“The crew made the only right decision in such a situation - to land directly on a corn field,” said the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko.

Pilots who land a plane in the suburbs will be presented to the state awards as soon as possible, said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

“Let us congratulate the heroic pilots who saved lives and landed the plane,” he said.

Journalists also asked him to comment on reports that an unauthorized dump is located outside the Zhukovsky airport, attracting many birds, which, according to preliminary data, got into the engines and caused the accident. Writes about it RIA News.

Peskov noted that all factors will become known as a result of the investigation, which promises to be operational, since the aircraft body and black boxes have survived.

“There is a procedure. And only then will it be possible to talk about the reasons. <…> If you are asking whether it is good - an unauthorized dump, it is bad. And you know that an irreconcilable fight is being waged against unauthorized dumps,” Peskov said.

“Hit by a seagull - no engine”

At the general meeting of the Association of Air Transport Operators in December 2018, Skuratov called for improved ornithological support for airports. These services ensure that birds do not fall into the take-off area.

Skuratov said that collisions of airplanes with birds bring great losses to companies.

“A seagull hit, there’s no engine,” he reasoned. — These losses may not be commensurate with the cost of engine repairs. Therefore, when we talk about ornithological support for the airport, we are not talking, we are shouting: come to your senses and do at least something on time.”

The number of aircraft collisions with birds in Russia is growing. According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, in 2018 there were 1019 reports of aircraft collisions with birds, of which 72 led to incidents. According to statistics, most often such clashes occur in August.

According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, most often due to a collision with birds, the engine and wing of the aircraft are damaged. Cases of getting into the engine, as well as in the windshield, are considered the most dangerous.

"Ural Airlines"

Ural Airlines is one of the five largest Russian airlines in terms of traffic volume and is based at Yekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport, as well as Moscow Domodedovo and St. Petersburg Pulkovo.

The airline operates 45 Airbus aircraft - 24 A320s, 16 A321s and five A319s. In August, it was announced that Ural Airlines had added another Airbus A320neo to its fleet.

The plane received a hole and damage to the bow, according to video frames distributed by the Investigative Committee of Russia.

Later, the airline’s press service reported that the plane “cannot be restored.”
