на Филипините

21.04.2010//12:50 по Гринуич
Филипини/Мексико/Барангей Лапут

На Филипините се е разбил транспортен самолет Ан-12 с бордови номер UP-AN216, лизингован от авиокомпания АТМА. Самолетът се разбил при захода за кацане на международното летище Манила Кларк.
Самолетът изпълнявал полет Q8-7815 превозвайки товар на компанияга UPS от остров Себу за провинция Пампанга, разположена на о-в Лусон.
Ан-12 излетял от Себу в 19.45 м. вр.и трябвало да се приземи на летище Кларк около 21.00. Десет минути преди кацането диспечерите на летището получили от борда сигнал "Бедствие". Екипажът на самолета бил принуден да извърши аварийно кацане в оризово поле на около 20 км от полосата.
Предполага се, че пожар на борда бил причината за
драматичното решение.
Местните жители озовали се в близост до мястото на катастрофата успели да измъкнат от горящите отломки 3-ма от екипажа. След като огънят затихнал в кабината открили обгорените тела на още трима членове на екипажа.
Според съобщение на властите на Лусон, екипажът на самолета се състоял от трима руснаци, двама узбеки и българин. Имената им са оповестени в медиите. Сред оцелелите са руснакът - командир на екипажа Юрий Точоннъй (50 г.) и узбеките Дмитрий Струминский (39 г.) - втори пилот и Борхадир Рузиев (44 г.). Тримата са приети за болнично лечение с обгаряния.
Загинали са руснаците Николай Баннон, Вадим Якимов, а също и българинът Цветослав Цоков Гечевски

Villagers managed to rescue three crew members - the Russian Tochonyy Yuriy (50), pilot; and Uzbekistan nationals Dmitry Strumminski (39), co-pilot and Ruziev Borhadir (44), crew.
Three other crew - Russian engineers Nikolay Bannon and Vadim Yakimov and a Bulgarian national Tzvetoslav Getchevski - were found dead near the cockpit. Investigators were trying to identify the badly burned bodies.
The Antonov 12 plane was leased by a Manila-based airline company ATMA for domestic use. Clark’s tower lost communication with the aircraft at about 8:50 p.m.

Президентът на Полша
загина в самолетна катастрофа

10.04.2010//06:56 по Гринуич
Русия/Смоленск

Катин прибави още една полска трагедия към своята мрачна история. В самолетна катастрофа край Смоленск загинаха всички от полската делегация водена от президента на Полша, Лех Качински, пристигаща за 70-годишнината от гибелта на полските военнослужащи, жертви на Сталинските репресии и машинации. Сред загиналите са съпругата на президента, директорът на Полската национална банка, началникът на генералния щаб на въоръжените сили, командващите на видовете въоръжени сили, служители на президентството, депутати, представители на обществени организации, представители на духовенството, близки и роднини на жертвите от Катин - общо 96 по данни на МИС.
Правителственият самолет Ту-154М с бордови номер 101 е катастрофирал при кацане на около 500 м от началото на полосата на военното летище „Смоленск-Север”. Самолетът закачил върховете на дървета, ударил се в земята, разпаднал се на части и възпламенил. Метеорологичните условия, гъста мъгла и видимост от 200 до 400 м, били определени като далеч „под минимума на летището”, който изисква видимост – 1000 м. Диспечерите съветвали екипажа да се отправи към определените за резервни летища в Минск, Витебск или Москва. Екипажът огледал условията над летището и заходил за кацане. Пилот, другар на командира на разбилия се самолет пита в интервю „Защо не са затворили летището, след като условията на него са били под минимума му?” Насложили са се много нещица за да се стигне до трагедията. Метеорологичната обстановка е била динамична. Приблизително час преди това на летището успешно кацнал Як-40 с полски журналисти, но Ил-76 не успял и след 2 опита за кацане се отправил към Москва. Може да се предполага, че способността на летището за приемане на самолети е занижена. Дислоцираният на него транспортен авиополк, според няколко източника, е закрит през октомври 2009 г. Вероятно сред обслужващия и технически състав на летището текат процеси на щатно-организационни изменения в посока редуциране, които са определено демотивиращи. Липсата на активна летателна дейност (обслужва се до един самолет в седмица и много рядко пътнически самолети) води до разтренирене и претупване на някои функционални задължения и регламентни дейности по техниката, в това число и на средствата за близка навигация (РСБН/ПРМГ), които изискват особено внимание. Мястото на катастрофата показва не само грешка по глисадата по височина, но и се намира на 50м встрани от нея.
Разбилият се самолет преминал капитален ремонт в Русия и предаден с акт на поляците на 21.12.2009 г. Бил е произведен, по данни на ИТАР-ТАСС, на 29.06.1990 г. Пилотите летели на него го определят като изключително надежден.
Бордовите самописци са открити и разшифровани от руските експерти в присъствието и участието на полските им колеги. Води се разследване, като се разпитват очевидци на катастрофата и персонала на летището обслужвал полета. В Полша е обявен 7-дневен траур.

Самолет президента
Польши разбился
под Смоленском

10.04.2010//06:56 по Гринвичу
Россия/Смоленск

Самолет Ту-154М (101)польского президента Леха Качиньского разбился в 10.56 мск при заходе на посадку в аэропорту Северный под Смоленском. Он упал в 500 метрах от взлетно-посадочной полосы.
По данным следствия, самолет зацепил верхушки деревьев. Причиной этого могла стать плохая видимость из-за тумана. После падения лайнер загорелся, однако спасатели быстро потушили огонь, сообщил глава МЧС РФ Сергей Шойгу.
Наземные службы заметили, что траектория снижения самолета польского президента ниже нормальной, однако экипаж проигнорировал указание прекратить снижение.
По данным МЧС погибли 96 человек. На месте катастрофы обнаружено тело президента Качиньского. Тела погибших будут перевезены для опознания в Москву, сообщил президент Медведев.
На самолете Лех Качиньский, его супруга и ряд высокопоставленных чиновников из руководства Польши направлялись в Катынь, чтобы принять участие в траурных мероприятиях на месте массового захоронения жертв политических репрессий.
Капитальный ремонт самолет Ту-154 президента Польши Леха Качиньского проводился в декабре 2009 года, сообщил в эфире «Вести-24» генеральный директор завода «Авиакор» Алексей Гусев.
По его словам, акт о сдачи самолета в эксплуатацию был подписан 21 декабря 2009 года. По данным Гусева, на следующий ремонт планировалось провести через 6 лет.
По данным на март, Ту-154 Качиньского совершил 50 посадок и находился в воздухе в общей сложности 124 часа.
По данным ИТАР-ТАСС, самолет Качиньского был сделан 29 июня 1990 года и использовался 20 лет
Ситуация на аэродроме «Северный» утром 10 апреля была критической из-за густого тумана. Кроме того, военный аэродром принимает самолеты раз в неделю, и довольно редко пассажирские лайнеры. В этот день аэродром должен был принять три рейса. Первым на аэродроме успешно приземлился Як-40 с группой польских журналистов. Следом за ним должен был сесть Ил-76 с сотрудниками охраны президента. Он летел на аэродром за полчаса до президентского борта. Однако после двух неудачных попыток Ил-76 развернулся и улетел в Москву..
По словам первого заместителя начальника главного штаба ВВС России Александра Алешина, экипаж президентского самолета несколько раз не выполнил указаний руководителя полетов аэродрома "Смоленск-Северный". Пилоты были оповещены о том, что погода "ниже метеоминимума аэродрома". Алешин подчеркнул, что аэродром находился в работоспособном состоянии, в день катастрофы здесь сел еще один самолет из Польши - Як-40.
Как отметил глава МЧС России Сергей Шойгу, прибывший на место ЧП, отклонение траектории Ту-154 было не только по высоте, но и не менее чем на 50 метров в сторону.
На месте трагедии обнаружены оба бортовых самописца, информация с которых должна пролить свет на истинные причины трагедии.

Polish president killed
in plane crash

10.04.2010//06:56 GMT
Russia/Smolensk/ Airport - North (XUBS)

Polish President Lech Kaczynski and some of the country’s highest military and civilian leaders died on Saturday when the presidential plane crashed as it came in for a landing in thick fog in western Russia, killing at least 96, officials said.
Russian and Polish officials said there were no survivors on the 26-year-old Tupolev Tu-154M (101), which was taking the president, his wife and staff to events marking the 70th anniversary of the massacre in Katyn forest of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police.
The crash devastated the upper echelons of Poland’s political and military establishments. On board were the army chief of staff, the navy chief commander, and heads of the air and land forces. Also killed were the national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the National Security Office, deputy parliament speaker, Olympic Committee head, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said.
Reflecting the grave sensibilities of the crash to relations between the two countries, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally assumed charge of the investigation. He landed in Smolensk Saturday with an entourage of Russian officials to meet Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who was flying in from Warsaw. The president’s twin brother, former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kacynski, also flew there in a chartered plane, according to his party.
Andrei Yevseyenkov, spokesman for the Smolensk regional government, said Russian dispatchers asked the crew to divert from the military airport in North Smolensk and land instead in Minsk, the capital of neighboring Belarus, or in Moscow because of the fog.
While traffic controllers generally have the final word in whether it is safe for a plane to land, they can and do leave it to the pilots’ discretion.
Air Force Gen. Alexander Alyoshin confirmed that the pilot disregarded instructions to fly to another airfield.
Some of the people on board were relatives of those slain in the Katyn massacre.
Poland has long discussed replacing the planes that carry the country’s leaders but said they lacked the funds.
The presidential plane was fully overhauled in December, the general director of the Aviakor aviation maintenance plant in Samara, Russia told. The plant repaired the plane’s three engines, retrofitted electronic and navigation equipment and updated the interior, Alexei Gusev said. He said there could be no doubts that the plane was flightworthy.
The plane tilted to the left before crashing, eyewitness Slawomir Sliwinski told state news channel Rossiya-24. He said there were two loud explosions when the aircraft hit the ground. According to some early reports, the crash occurred not on the first attempt to land but on a later one after the pilot had aborted earlier attempts and "gone around" for another try. Other reports say that the Russian air traffic controllers told the plane to divert instead to Minsk. The presence of the country's entire leadership on a plane, heading for an important commemoration, would no doubt have increased pressure on a flight crew to show their skills by getting the plane onto the ground.
Poland’s parliament speaker, the acting president, declared a week of national mourning.
Lech Kaczynski became president in December 2005 after defeating Tusk in that year’s presidential vote. Poland, a nation of 38 million people, is by far the largest of the 10 formerly communist countries that have joined the European Union in recent years. Kaczynski is the first serving Polish leader to die since exiled World War II-era leader Gen. Wl. Sikorski in a plane crash off Gibraltar in 1943.
