The first version published was... Are you sitting comfortably?

"FEMALE Captain on this flight forgot to release the brakes before starting takeoff run, which caused gear and tyres destruction."

It was particularly pointed that Captain was Female, which is even the bigger problem than unreleased brakes in Russia, where females are very very rare on commercial aircraft, don't mind heavy jet and don't mind Captain position at all.
After 15 years of Soviet Union collapse there is still no straight and official way to become CPL/ATPL holder for females in Russia.
