The incident occurred about half past six in the morning. On board the aircraft were 226 passengers and seven crew members. Miraculously, there were no casualties.

Quiet, sunny morning in the chamber airport "Zhukovsky". Him as a civilian airport opened just three years ago. Flight to Simferopol - the first of flies on Thursday. At Airbus A321 full fuel tanks.

passengers realized, that there is something wrong, still on the rise. The most powerful moment of the speed dial a feeling, that the ship was in the pit. People felt a blow, some flew forward. If later during landing landing gear, they could break through the fuel tanks - remember the May tragedy with Superjet in "Sheremetyevo".

Already in the air passengers saw sparks around wings, says Kareena. She flew to the Crimea to parents. He speaks, that fly anywhere in the near future does not want:

"We took off, and a flight attendant saw, something is not, Only she took the tube, To call the commander, and was immediately hit. We all flew forward. We landed on the field, opened escape hatches, smoke went, we all began to jump. Someone broke a hand, someone injured neck. I started to run to the field, because the plane could catch fire, smoke was. All fled in different directions, then on the horn began to collect, explain, how to get on the road ".

supervised evacuation, judging by the video passengers, captain 41-year-old Damir Yusupov, who graduated with honors from the Buguruslan Flying School and The Ulyanovsk Civil Aviation Institute. Total flight time - more than three thousand hours.

Flight attendants also acted very professionally: reassured passengers, opened hatches, helped evacuate, They asked not to take things, We help people on the ground. burst into tears, Only when all of the selected fields from the nearby road. passengers organized themselves, They helped each other to look for relatives, and then, too, could not hold back emotions:

Twenty-three people directly from PE place taken to the ambulance. Total applied for medical aid 74 passenger. Among the victims - Muscovite Svetlana Babina, she flew to the sea with a 11-year-old son and three-year daughter.

"I have a neck sprain, because I did not have time to regroup, child held. We must pay tribute to the pilot, because he put in this situation as much as possible gently. Of course, panic was. children screaming, frightened. We sat in front, we had a fifth row, and we quickly got. landing point - a hard blow. The plane did not plummeted. We have seen the field, we understood, that approach, I started to push the children as much as possible ".

Those, who are not taken to the hospital, We are taken to the airport on the bus after four and a half hours after the incident, accompanied by a police cordon. Brought to the stage door, all left in the sterile area, press the passengers were not allowed. After a medical examination, psychologists and interviews with the investigators have begun to produce a walk on the territory of the airport, where on Thursday there were more journalists, than travelers.

Returning from a corn field could be recognized by dirty shoes. To many come close, who only a few hours ago, accompanied them on the flight. Baggage all promised to bring the evening, after investigation. About the moral question of compensation has not yet passed. Those who wish to have at the airport offered alternative flights to Simferopol from "Domodedovo". Among the agreed was a resident of Crimea Stepan Agapyan.

- I was sitting near the emergency door and the first to run away, across 20 minutes returned. Panic was not, Everything was neatly, people behaved very well. We waited a long time, 40-55 minutes.

- Somebody was bad?

- Who can not feel bad? All feel good, everyone is happy. hug, kissing. I was sitting just above the chassis, Several times he tried to close the chassis, to my mind, I'm not an expert, but a lot of flying. I think, the chassis was not closed, and drove the car. It lasted five minutes. Nothing caught fire, if someone says, that caught fire, - lies! I flew home, Now I go to "Domodedovo" airport and fly. Luggage I had no.

After a couple of hours it was reported, that the cause of the incident could be a bird, presumably gull, flown in aircraft engines. While I was waiting for the official press conference of airport management, I decided to go to a place of state of emergency and in the surrounding villages. Above the, where the incident occurred, actually constantly flew flocks. The taxi driver explained: there is a permanent feature - nearby landfill, where a lot of gulls. Locals in conversation notice: most gulls during the flood the surrounding rivers. In general, a lot of birds, because around planted fields. They are even in the gardens of berries is not the case - all peck.
