self because there's a lot of snow at the crash site that's the jet crashed into a field more trucks and very quickly and for a right wing every hour heavier stuff the conditions of the crash site are first be there because of this though because if they were and. obviously they want to get this crash site in order quickly here is another ambulance moved likely carrying the remains of another victim or perhaps victims judging by the frequency by which these are passing us immigration is proceeding rapidly lugol's to also be describing what they've seen. my friend say the bang was so loud that the windows almost shouted. i was watching t.v. and heard the band everyone heard the noise. yes i heard

a loud cluck i was line in the hole dad lifted up and my cats hit it was really loud. i would see it sounded like an explosion our house bounced. reports initially were contradictory some people said that the aircraft was. on fire while in the air others described a huge explosion when it crashed about a kilometer from here. tractors clearing away the snow and the roads there's already been a lot of speculation a lot of discussion as to the potential possible causes of this crash good thing this the gators say they'll be looking at everything from possible technical malfunction stick human error to weather conditions and it's probably best to let the men and women digging through the wreckage do their job and to give us a definitive conclusive answers to what caused this tragedy. the

plane was on route to or sky city close to the russian border with cassocks down took off from a common denver airport in the russian capital four minutes later the plane came down near a village about sixty kilometers southeast of moscow. a memorial civilian set up across the orenburg region where sixty of the passengers came from some of the victims' relatives and friends learned of the tragedy while waiting for their loved ones to arrive but in a culture of a report from moscow and out of a rapport from where the plane departed. the aircraft that crashed just outside moscow departed from this very airport the why did the lease one of the three major air transport hubs in the capital and after the tragedy remains fully operational but over at the small city of course the airport there tells a very different story the shock has paralyzed it most of the sixty five passengers on board of that plane were from that region dozens of family and friends were

waiting for them there are scenes so if absolute grief a speak will come to terms with what has happened emergency crews are present at the airport and psychologists are ready to help those trying to cope with their loss the passengers who were due to fly back to moscow on the crashed aircraft are handing back their tickets and even the here at this fast paced airport which is forced to keep moving this tragedy has hit hard. side he counseled his take it just days before the flight might serve was due to fly back to earth to celebrate his birthday with his family but he changed his plans he says he still can't grasp what's happened. that would sure is yes it would be good i turned thirty seven today i wanted to celebrate my birthday with my family my friends and my girlfriend in all sk my friend who would have met me at the airport called me today and told me what happened at first i didn't believe him later when i saw the news what can i

say i felt a chill down my spine i want to express my service deepest sympathies to the relatives of those who died it's horrifying. the crash the plane was a russian made antonov one for eight own bias out of the airlines had been in operation for eight years the aircraft have a maximum speed of eight hundred twenty kilometers per hour and they're capable of carrying up to eighty passengers the airline itself is now being investigated by the authorities but the company claims that it carried out all the necessary technical maintenance on that aircraft however this particular plane was previously involved in several safety incidents including engine and problems. with the investigation underway we've been talking to aviation experts about possible causes of the crash. like to extend my thoughts and prayers to all the families of the passengers and crew and the airline staff in the wake of this tragedy the weather is probably the primary factor that depends a lot on the rate of the snowfall or precipitation and how long the airplane had

been sitting on the ground collecting all that material so if the airplane had only been on the ground maybe thirty minutes maybe not so much accumulated if had been there a couple of hours obviously a lot more could have accumulated in that case if the airplane was not sprayed with the icing fluid there would be a more serious. result you know so the fact that the airplane became airborne and climbed to six thousand feet tells me that probably the airplane was in pretty good shape at the time of the takeoff we're dealing with a great great tragedy i feel very bad communicating in such a context with the tragedy there are common protocol for an investigation through various aspects security and safety factors a few things really briefly would be the structural integrity of the aircraft if you use a line which the engines and so on then you look at various energy forces whether

we're talking a lecture systems power for the engines things that vaccine are. going to really nominally external to an aircraft back could include anything from up bird strike a missile strike a collision with another aircraft interaction with unusual weather phenomena and then lastly you have to look at human issues. over the last five years almost four hundred lives have been lost in russian at tragedies and those catastrophes still weigh heavy in many.
