More than 70 people were injured as a result of the emergency landing of the Airbus A321, following the flight Moscow - Simferopol. The accident occurred almost immediately after departure from the Zhukovsky airport. The victims were avoided thanks to the coordinated work of the crew and the decisions made by the pilots at a critical moment. According to the preliminary version, several gulls got into the engines of the aircraft, on board of which 233 people were. When it became clear that an emergency landing was inevitable, the pilots decided not to let out the landing gear and land “on their belly” in the corn field, which softened the blow. The Kremlin said that the pilots will be presented to state awards.
