Video - Four dead as passenger jet crashes into highway after landing at Moscow Vnukovo Airport.(RT).A passenger jet has crashed after taking a hard landing at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport, witnesses say. Three people were killed and at least three others were taken to hospital in a critical condition, says Russia’s Interior Ministry.
One of those critically injured died while being taken to hospital. The captain and co-pilot are among those killed, reports Interfax citing sources.
The plane was flying in from Pardubice, the Czech Republic, and was carrying at least eight people (up to twelve according to various reports). Vnukovo Airport says that everyone onboard were the crew. Pardubice Airport confirms that:
“There was only the crew aboard. No Czech nationals were among them. Before taking off the operating company checked all the plane’s systems and said they were functioning normally,” Pardubice press-service told Gazeta.ru.
The incident took place at around 16:35 local time (12:35 GMT). Preliminary reports say the jet, which belongs to Russian low-cost airline Red Wings, crashed after taking a second landing attempt. It rolled out from the runway into Kievskoye Highway, fell into three pieces and caught fire. The fire area of 100 square meters was extinguished by firefighters, officials said.
The circumstances of the incident are being clarified. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered to set up a special investigation group to look into the accident.
Earlier, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry confirmed that the plane had to make a forced landing.Read and see (Foto's)the full story here.
