From Reuters
A Russian passenger plane with 43 people on board crashed in Siberia on Monday, killing at least 16 people while 12 survivors were rescued, an emergency official said.
The ATR 72, a twin-engine, turbo-prop plane, crashed some 30-35 km (18-22 miles) from the western Siberian city of Tyumen, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said. She told Reuters 12 people were rescued and 16 bodies had been found at the crash site. According to preliminary information, there were 39 passengers and four crew on board |
And so ends the longest period without a fatal airline crash...almost 6 months.

Latest rumour:
Only this airplane has not been de-iced this morning at USTR... |
I had the misfortune of using this airline (also was an ATR-72) from VKO-VNO just over a year ago. Everything down from ticket issuance to inflight conditions was some kind of ludicrous circus show. As I understood they were also banned from entering EU airspace at one stage. You could have a more pleasant flying experience in the cargo hold of a Congolese military jet...

aditya104; Whilst the top video you've posted shows what looks like an ATR, the bottom one shows a variety of aeroplanes of various types and colours and seems unrelated. Where did that come from ?
OK PM noted ... video now removed and replaced.... |
Harsh comments
That's a little unfair - I have used UT and its pre-decessor for many years. In fact I flew in one of their brand new atr 72-500s only last week. They are a very large organisation with more than 100 aircraft and also a very large helicopter operation
|
according to USA Fox News, smoke was observed trailing from an engine, and then
the plane attempted a return to the airport...landed/crashed 1 mile short of runway |
Supporting Birmingham's point. Flew domestic on their ATRs and everything looked nice (from a pax cabin perspective). No reason to come up with unfair clichés. Let's just wait for the facts.

What is so harsh about that? ATRs and ice, that is where I would be looking first. :hmm: |
Sorry can't have arbitrary slanging.
I regularly fly 2-3 airlines over here. My favourite is S7. 2nd,- UTAIR has a good safety record. Can't stand AeroFlop especially since flight SU821. Now, it's not the usual excuse of it being a russian made plane or stepping on the brakes taking off, or flying sideways because they got trained on a TU instead of a 737. :ugh: |
Hi,

News is now saying they DIDN'T de-ice the plane.
"quoting the airport's deputy director, Vladimir Nyesmachny" Pilot decision.. (sounds like buck passing taking place). I forgot this one also from last week, but couldn't find the headline. Only TWO in one day,- Two Planes Forced to Land With Engine Failure | News | The Moscow Times Probably more buck passing taking place here too http://www.premier.gov.ru/eng/premie...ru/4508/print/ , in the light of the very minimal improvement in air safety since Medvedev declared last year TU, AN, JAK to be too old and unfit for service. I wonder what excuse will be given now it's Putin officially back in the saddle, and this was no ancient french-italian aircraft kit, but run by one of the best & largest, UTAIR. On the good side;- Looks like the amount of soft snow around probably saved some of the PAX. :ouch: FYI Here it's those unique conditions you find for 2 weeks or so a year during the big thaw. Sub zero night temps, very high humidity, followed by +6C day time temps. :suspect: |
