November 10-4, Crimea, Cessna 336
The crash of a light-engine aircraft occurred near the airfield of the Koktebel Planetary Sports Center. 4 people were killed, including the pilot. The crash is under investigation.
The investigation of aircraft crashes can only be successful if black boxes are found, according to the data from which it is possible to reconstruct the events of the last minutes of the flight. In most cases, the causes are aircraft malfunctions, less often - bad weather and the human factor.
Today, November 4, 2015, just 5 days after the terrible plane crash in the Sinai Peninsula, which claimed the lives of 224 people, another, no less tragic tragedy occurred - an An-12 cargo plane crashed in South Sudan. As a result of the incident, 41 people died, while two more people, according to initial data, who were on board the ill-fated aircraft, were taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
The official investigation into the crash in South Sudan has not yet officially begun, and rescuers have not even been able to find “black boxes” at the crash site, however, experts are already expressing some versions of what happened. What happened to the An-12 aircraft in South Sudan, and under what circumstances did several dozen people die?
Technical malfunction of An-12
The initial cause of the crash of the An-12 aircraft was called a technical malfunction of the aircraft. As the direct witnesses of the crash noted, the plane, almost immediately after trying to take off, began to gradually lose altitude, which prompted a version about the failure of the power plant of the aircraft. However, the opinions of witnesses later diverged - some of them claimed that the An-12 engines worked, at least as ordinary citizens could see.
In addition, it is worth clarifying that the An-12 model has 4 aircraft engines, and even if two power plants failed, then with a high degree of probability the aircraft could continue flying, or at least return to the airport Juba.
Aircraft congestion
A few hours after the crash occurred, the management of the Juba International Airport made a statement that the An-12 could have been overloaded. This version can be proved by the fact that, in fact, the pilots of the aircraft took off almost at the very edge of the runway, and in addition, the aircraft, immediately after climbing, began to gradually lose it, and, having covered a distance of 800 meters, fell down next to the river.
According to representatives of the Juba airport, there was a large amount of cargo on board the aircraft, and in addition, an unspecified number of passengers were also present here - according to some reports, there were 12 people on board the An-12 (including crew members), however, later information appeared that that the plane could be up to 20 people.
However, according to the official aircraft performance data, the An-12 can take up to 21 tons of payload on board, and it is doubtful that there was more cargo on board the aircraft, although at the moment these data need to be carefully verification.
Crew error
Experts also do not exclude the version that the An-12 aircraft could have crashed due to the mistake of one of the aircraft crew members. This version is currently one of the most considered due to the fact that it was possible to establish that at the time of departure from the airport, the aircraft was in good technical condition.
The first footage from the An-12 crash site in South Sudan
What exactly could have gone wrong is currently being clarified by experts, however, it is worth clarifying that about 30% of the An-12 aircraft that crashed over the entire time crashed precisely because of the human factor, and we are talking about more than 230 disasters involving the model An-12.
Who exactly is to blame for the An-12 crash in South Sudan, the equipment or the person, is to be found out by specialists, however, even this will not allow dozens of ruined human lives to be returned to life.
