The greatest number of victims in the history of civil aviation accident occurred this morning. 224 people – passengers and crew of flight Sharm el-Sheikh – Saint Petersburg – crashed in Egypt, in the Sinai Peninsula. People flew to rest their families. 27 children among the dead. Egyptian Prime Minister said – is found 129 bodies. Experts are working on the “black box”.
This is the first evidence of a plane crash in the Sinai – photos, published by the Egyptian TV channel. The first – for the whole day. Before that, there were no pictures, no videos, even the shortest. Later in the afternoon at the air base of the Egyptian Air Force “Convertible”, a hundred kilometers from a small Cairo, the first military helicopters landed, pulling from Sinai remains of the victims. Ambulances – a long line of cars with flashing lights – carry with them an air base in the Cairo morgue. Before nightfall in the Egyptian capital brought the body of almost all of the victims. From there they were sent to Russia, to St. Petersburg.
“Since this tragic incident, our countries are in close contact. The President and the Government of Egypt expressed condolences in this regard and offered to do everything possible to, water First, conduct a joint investigation, and secondly, to help in transporting the bodies of our citizens at home, “- said Russian Ambassador to Egypt Sergey Kirpichenko.
” Airbus’ Flight 9268 was flying just 23 minutes. Much longer – a few hours after he disappeared from the radar – came conflicting information about the fate of the ship. Be more or less clear picture of what happened in the sky over the Sinai was not immediately possible.
Sharm el-Sheikh, 5 hours 51 minutes local time (6.51 GMT). Airbus’ Kogalymavia “- a charter airline, also known under the brand name” Metrodzhet “- took off and is heading for St. Petersburg. Free places almost no choice. Experienced crew commander – 12 thousand flight hours, one third of them – just to “Airbus-321″. Almost immediately after take-off, he found some problems on the board, connected to the land, said the fault, asked to resolve land at the nearest airport. At the session ended, and more, “airbus” not communicate. By 7 hours 14 minutes Moscow Time ship lost radar.
“The 7.14 had to go out on a session with Larnaca, Cyprus. Radio did not take place with the aircraft, it is lost. Just disappeared mark of the aircraft to radioradarov dispatchers. On board were 217 passengers and 7 crew members, mostly Russian citizens, “- said a spokesman for Federal Air Transport Agency Sergei Isvolsky.
Of the 217 passengers – 27 children. On holiday in Sharm returning families.
According to the data of the Internet resource “Flaytradar”, the last thing fixed land – a minute before disappearing from screens, aircraft dropped about two kilometers altitude. And the rate drops sharply: with nearly 750 kilometers per hour to 350 first, and then – to 170 kilometers per hour! This is the last that gave the transponder, and these figures – beyond critical. Large ship at such a low speed just will not stay in the air. Moreover, according to the witnesses, there is a decline, “airbus”, it seems to be burning engine.
The plane had crashed – it fell in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, 35 kilometers from the town of El-Arish, and the press and news They continued to pour conflicting messages. Someone on the move announced the plane crashed. Then came the information that he had again made contact. Then came all the intricate links to the Egyptian air traffic controllers, who allegedly claimed that the reports “airbus” Turkish colleagues. But this information was not confirmed.
Later in the morning, it became clear – Egyptian airspace the aircraft left. The Prime Minister of this country has canceled all trips, called an emergency meeting and announced that the plane still crashed. At Sinai, we introduced a state of emergency. And then, finally, in the afternoon officially announced: the debris found.
“We have sent to the crash site a working group of the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It will conduct an investigation, a standard procedure. Of course, we are in constant contact with the Russian ambassador, “- said the Prime Minister of Egypt, Sherif Ismail.
Those who first saw the crash site with his own eyes, gave the news, he completely gave up hope: the liner is completely destroyed, there is no chance of finding survivors. Half an hour later rescuers began to extract from the rubble the bodies. Search work is complicated by difficult mountainous terrain and the fact that the fallen ship literally swept around the neighborhood.
An officer of the security forces of Egypt described the agency “Reuters” a terrible picture: “I watch the tragic scene. On the ground lies a lot of dead bodies, many of them wearing seatbelts in their seats. The plane split into two parts. The first – small tail section – was burned, the second – a large front part – crashed into a rock. We have learned already 100 bodies, the rest are still under the rubble. We heard ringing dozens of phones that belonged to the victims, our officers have collected them in a bag. “
crashed “Airbus-321″ was operated for about 19 years – it is quite acceptable for civil aviation, another question, how to maintain the aircraft. This particular board of several years in the airlines of the Middle East: Lebanon, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Russian “Kogalymavia” got it in 2012.
The causes of the tragedy versed professionals, and people from the left picture. Pictures of those who flew from Egypt, was returning from a holiday flight before takeoff 9268 and managed to keep publishing in social networks such, for example, the words, “Hello, Peter, goodbye, Egypt. We’re going home.”
