On December 30, the plane, Tupolev Tu-204, capable of carrying 210 people, crashed. The plane had a good safety record compared to the other planes in Russia. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Four out of the eight passengers died. Families of those killed will be given 1 million rubles, which is about $33,000. There were not any passengers on the plane. All eight people on board were crew members. There was a video taken from a nearby highway and it shows debris from the plane, including a tire and what looks like a row of seats, flying onto the roadway. There were no serious injuries were reported on the highway. Analysis: I hope that the safety record improves so this doesn't happen again because this is terrible.

Its so sad that people died even if it was a horrible accident. I hope that the families of the killed are able accept that it was no ones fault and can recover soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible. I wonder why the plane crashed. I wonder if it was the pilot's fault, or if something was wrong with the engine. Even though, there were poor four people that died, it is a good thing that 210 people weren't on the plane, or else there could have been many more deaths. Lately, I have read a few articles on plane crashes, so I hope this doesn't happen again.
