FlyDubai Flight 981 victims likely had ** idea of crash
http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBqGlH0.img?h=100&w=100&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=fThe passengers aboard the ill-fated plane that was pulverized in a fiery pre-dawn crash at a southern Russian airport Saturday had ** idea they were facing “imminent death.” “It was an uncontrollable fall,” veteran Russian pilot Sergei Kruglikov said on state television. He said a sudden change in wind speed and direction could have caused the wings of the Boeing 737 to abruptly lose lift around 3:42 a.m., sending the aircraft plummeting short of the airstrip in Rostov-on-Don. RUSSIAN PLANE CRASH KILLS ALL 62 ABOARD The pilots would have k**wn only seconds before the crash that they were going to die, Kruglikov said, but the “passengers and the cabin crew likely didn’t realize they were facing imminent death.” All 62 people aboard the flight from Dubai were killed. Air carrier FlyDubai said in a statement that there were 44 Russians among the 55 passengers, eight Ukrainians, two Indians and one Uzbek. Four children were among the dead. The plane’s captain, 38-year-old Aristos Socratous, was planning to take a job with Ryanair in Cyprus, a friend told The Associated Press. Socratous’ wife is to give birth to the couple’s first child in a few weeks and Socratous wanted to raise his family at home, the friend said. S**w fell Saturday after**on on the cratered, debris-strewn runway, where officials began their investigation. The wreckage littered the grassy area surrounding the airstrip, where the plane plummeted to Earth and exploded in a huge fireball. Officials said the identification process would be difficult due to the severity of the blast, but both of the plane’s flight recorders have been recovered undamaged. Russian news websites released a recording of what was said to be the final communications between the plane and air traffic controllers, in which the pilot repeatedly but calmly asks about weather conditions. Strong winds were gusting when the crash occurred, Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said. Winds at ground level weren’t dangerously strong, reached 67 mph above 1,000 feet. Two planes had landed just a few minutes before the FlyDubai plane aimed to touch down. A**ther plane was diverted to a different airfield after three failed attempts. After abandoning its first approach, the doomed plane entered a holding pattern for two hours as it waited for the weather to improve. *****y video footage of the wreck showed the plane streaking toward the ground at a steep angle, then exploding. “By all appearances, the cause of the air crash was the strongly gusting wind, approaching a hurricane level,” said Vasily Golubev, gover**r of the Rostov region, about 600 miles south of Moscow.
