The fact that the pilots ejected does not mean that they are completely guilty, but they will have to answer serious questions today in the hospital bed. What might lead to such a tragedy explained to Fontanka specialist in aviation security and psychology, former head of the Federal Directorate of Aviation and Space Search and Rescue, Honored Military Pilot of the Russian Federation, retired Major General Vladimir Popov.
– What happened now – I’m sure it’s an accident, an absurd combination of circumstances. This is the rarest case. I can tell dozens of cases regarding how planes crashed over populated areas and the pilots always tried to minimize the harm to the last, says Popov.
