Aerofloat-Nord Flight 821 crash kills 88 (Boeing 737-500)

[wizzair1313]

when was this i forgot?

The Killer Boeing 737 strikes again...

[Pvjinflight]

@Funfisique Boeing 737 is very safe, it have more flight hours than any other commercial jet, and more of them in air every moment than any other plane, so of course they have more crashes too. For example if you fly 8 flights with Boeing 737, and 2 flights with Il-96, its much bigger probability that accident flight happens to be in Boeing 737, and that doesnt make unsafe.

[DrSlimeX]

We can't say that plane was owned by aeroflot. That plane belonged to subsidiary company of Aeroflot, called as Aeroflot-Nord. After that accident aeroflot-nord was deprived of their licence. So, we can't apply the ststistic of air crashes to Aeroflot. Still, it is the most safe company in Russia.

[TheouAegis]

Didn't anyone else laugh at the 1994 crash? The pilot let his 15 year old son pilot a populated jetliner. I thought htat was pretty funny.

[katyonok]

No. Because there was a partial failure of autopilot system as well. watch "kid in the cockpit", also on youtube

[Maloross]

The "official" cause of this crash is pilot error.

For me the question is, what kind of error could the pilot have made that would cause the plane to explode in the air and then crash several seconds later in flames.

If it was not a bomb then perhaps there was a serious failure in the engines that caused them to explode and spread the fire inside the aircraft.

[Lobos222]

Only a idiot would believe anything "official" from Russia. That sort of BS didnt die out with the end of the Cold War. To take a recent example you can just look at the sinking of the Russian sub Kursk. To much, we dont need help bs, until it was too late...

The problem with the Russian media is that they are still compulsory liars. Its like there stuck in limbo between politics and pride.

[jimjabbo]

Kursk was hardly recently chap...

[ihateheavymetalmusic]

russians don't think they need rules, and that's why they're killing and crashing so many airplanes. Poor maintenance is a biggie

[weallliveinusa]

Dear idiot,

jets don't crash in Russia more often than in the West.

You're an ass...

[ihateheavymetalmusic]

I'll take that bet ass hole!!!

[Maloross]

Bet on what?

[Maloross]

"So many"? Compared to who?

The deadliest crashes since 2005 inside Russia were 2 Airbuses and 1 Boeing, both serviced by American and Western European repair companies.

[b727cpt]

That's not true about russian airliner banned from US airspace. In 1974 an Ilyushin Il-62 landed at KMKE. I was there to see it.

[ihateheavymetalmusic]

1974?!!! Don't you even get what I'm saying here? 1974 was a long time ago and NO their current airliners are NOT allowed in USA service.

Buy a clue before you write!

[Maloross]

1. Very few Russian Airlines offer direct flights to the US.

2. There are currently only 2 Russian made passenger aircraft with trans-Atlantic flight capability in service, IL-96-300 and Tu-204-300, and the US cannot deny them entry. The IL-62 is not allowed into the US under ICAO regulations, it uses low bypass D-30 engines. These regulations are biased, since B-727 and early B-737 are allowed to fly(with similar engines).

3. An-124 transport planes deliver cargo from and to US regularly.

[Maloross]

In #2 I should have mentioned, trans-Atlantic from Moscow or Saint Petersburg.

[ihateheavymetalmusic]

Did you know that those russian airliners aren't even allowed to fly into USA airspace because of there safety record. Also other countries will not allow them to land either follow the USA FAA mandate. russian and chinese aircraft are the only two counties that have this limitation to my knowledge.

Go BOEING!!!

[ekovzy]

You so stupid as hell, go to school get education then talk, ok. 737 is most crash airlplane in the world. Sign off...

[Homg123]

Really?!! Russian and Chinese Airlines cant go into the US ? I never knew that.. Thanks o-o

[Everyonehatesrussia]

The reason russians planes are NOT sold world wide is because they have never met the international standard and it has always been like this! russian products have always had low ratings and they are known for building substandard crap like the chinese were used to being known for. Now the chinese have finally began to raise their standards but are along way from American and European standards. I fly an AN-2 at airshows and it's a piece of crap!!!!

[ihateheavymetalmusic]

Everyonehatesrussia

Thanks for stating the truth. Many people don't know this fact, and if it can't meet the safety standards it has to say something!!!

[thebassman19]

Heavy metal rules!! deal with it...

[Chukcha23]

you're dummies....russian Aerofloat is the best in world!!!! It isn't say anything that it crashed 1 time

[KLM777300er]

you are right, but its AEROFLOT

[Weirdo10o4]

TRY 0, Qantas, Finnair, etc.

[peterkvideo]

Lol! It's not true! Soviet airlines were sold all over the world (lots of Arab and African countries, East Europe, China, etc). Also, most of Soviet/Russian-built aircrafts have better safety rates than most of Boeing or Airbus production! Also, on the video, it's B-737 that crashed, not Russian or Soviet built machine!

[yaritza70224]

i dont like this airline, it has had alot of crashes before

[JohnnyStorm2007]

What? A plane crashed and there were parts? No way...planes are just supposed to magically dissapear according to 9/11....9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!

[Enonad2]

Two similar crashes of Boeings 737 in USA (United in 1991 and USAir in 1994, nothing of Aeroflot) are presented in one of the films on airplane crashes by the National Geographic channel. They are due to a hidden defect in a servo valve of the directional control, while initially even somme "Russian killing waves" were considered. It might be that this defect was nor repaired in the plane crashed in Perm..

[Rspzd]

It already caused a number of conspiracy theories. Due to crew's strange behavior and wide range of debris' dispersion it was concluded that the disaster could be caused by hijacking attempt. There's a large oil refinery nearby Perm airport and probably the terrorist(s) had this facility as a target.

The official version has been modified within days from engine failure to crew error. But it must be a chain of errors to lead to terrible disaster of that sort.

Aerofloat Airline's Very Scary Airline

[valerysgirl]

I know "Aeroflot" has a scary reputation, but there was way to much wreckage, in my opinion that plane exploded from a bomb.

[vingapur]

but nobody in Russia doesn't know anything about the pilot who gave control of an airliner to his son... So I don't think that it is true...

[hillock65]

Well it is true. Thre is a documentary on the event. Look it up on youtube.

[Glitcher2000]

WTF? A Russian pilot gave control of a commercial airliner to his underage son? Some incompetence is just unspeakable.

[bjorneols]

That's 14 years ago, and Aeroflot had no fatalities since then, until this crash. So their safety record is actually pretty good. But I guess people will keep bashing them for old sins for the next 100 years or so, instead of recognizing that it's actually a completely normal airlina by international standards. (There are other russian airlines, though, that would deserve criticism).

[Glitcher2000]

I'm not criticizing the airline or its safety standards, just the pilot's appaling lack of judgement.

[bjorneols]

Ok. That's fair. :)

[jagenigma]

Yeah its unbelievable but it did happen

Search up the term

"kid in the cockpit"

(no pedophilia intended)

It is from the on going series of Air Crash Investigation on the national geographic channel.

[bjorneols]

The title of the post is incorrect. The crash was nowhere near Sheremetyevo airport. Sheremetyevo is a Moscow airport, but the crash was in the city of Perm which is almost a thousand miles from Moscow.

[CaptainFaisal]

Thanks for the comment! I'll research it again and change it!
