Black boxes of the Russian aircraft revealed the causes of the deadly fire | Chronic

The pilot of the Aeroflot aircraft that burned Sunday at Sheremetievo airport, making 41 dead, evoked lightning, tanks filled with fuel and a violent landing as causes of the Moscow tragedy.

The circumstances of the accident are still unknown, but who guided the plane, Denis Evdokimov, said in the Russian media that the Sukhoi Superjet 100 had to make an emergency landing after losing some of the material on board due to lightning.

"Because of the lightning, we lost the radio contact and adopted the minimum piloting regime, that is to say without a computer, as usual, but directly", explained to the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaia Pravda.

"We were able to restore communication through the emergency frequency, but it was short and only intermittent." We could say a few words but the contact disappeared "he admitted.

The pilot also said that "the deposits were full" and that this reason would have been one of the main causes of the fire.

Russian authorities confirmed the death of 41 of 78 occupants of the aircraft Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet-100 that had caught fire in Moscow after an emergency landing.
