The Superjet airliner that crashed in the Moscow region was falling almost vertically. Three main versions of the disaster have been named

Shot showed footage of the Superjet plane crash in Kolomna near Moscow

The moment of the crash of the Sukhoi Superjet (SSJ) 100 near Kolomna was caught on video. The footage was published by the Telegram channel Shot.

The video shows how the plane falls almost vertically to the ground at high speed and explodes. After that, a column of black smoke rises into the sky.

Presumably, both engines of the aircraft failed.

Investigators came to the repair plant with searches

The Lukhovitsky Aviation Plant named after P.A. Voronin was searched after the death of the SSJ 100 in the Moscow region. The investigators were interested in the factory documentation. It is not specified whether it was seized during the search. It was at this enterprise that the liner that crashed on July 12 was repaired.

One of the main versions of the crash of the Superjet 100 liner near Kolomna was called a poor-quality assembly during repair. Sources of the Mash channel claim that during the climb, the aircraft accelerated to a vertical 40 meters per second at a rate of 12-15. With such an overload, the crew could lose consciousness, and both engines could fail. Similar cases occurred in 2010 and 2018. In particular, in one of the cases, the repairmen installed the stabilizer control switch upside down.

In turn, one of TASS’s interlocutors in the aviation industry admitted that the liner had a critical system failure. In his opinion, the cause of the disaster was problems with electronics.

The version with the collision of an airplane with a flock of birds is also being considered. It was explained that if the birds got into the engines at low altitude and at low speed, this could lead to a rapid development of a catastrophic situation. A similar case occurred in 2009 in the United States, later nicknamed the “miracle on the Hudson.” Then birds got into both engines of the Airbus taking off, but the pilots were able to safely land the liner on the river.

The final cause will be determined after decoding the flight recorders of the Superjet. The Federal Air Transport Agency confirmed that the “black boxes” have already been discovered, and it is possible to remove information from them.

The aircraft was built in 2014

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 plane that crashed in the Moscow region was built in 2014 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In 2015, it was transferred to Gazprom Avia, which was its sole operator.

The airworthiness certificate of the liner expired in 2030. The last flight with Sukhoi Superjet 100 passengers took place on May 3, then the aircraft was sent to the factory for scheduled maintenance. The plane crashed three hours after departure from the territory of the repair company.
