“No, I don’t know anything about this yet, I can’t say anything,” he said at a briefing on Friday.
Recall that on September 12, an Airbus A320 of Ural Airlines, which was carrying out the Sochi-Omsk flight, made an emergency landing in a wheat field in the Ubinsky district of the Novosibirsk region. There were 167 people on board, all of them survived and five people sought medical help.
It should be noted that this is the second successful emergency landing on a field in four years for Ural Airlines. In August 2019, an Airbus A321 landed in a cornfield in the Moscow region. Of the 233 people on board, no one died and 74 passengers suffered injuries of varying severity. The ship’s commander, Damir Yusupov, and co-pilot Georgy Murzin were awarded the Heroes of Russia stars “for courage and heroism shown in the line of duty in extreme conditions”, and the flight attendants were awarded the Orders of Courage. The decision to award the prize was made by the head of state the day after the “miracle in the cornfield.”
