http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBqFuSS.img?h=100&w=100&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=fAviation experts in Russia say the crash of a flydubai flight that claimed the lives of all 62 people on board was probably caused by wind. According to the weather data reported by Russian state television, winds at the moment of the crash at an altitude of 500m and higher were around 30m per second (108kph). Ian Petchenik, a spokesman for the flight-tracking website Flightradar24, told The Associated Press that the plane, which was flying to the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don from Dubai International Airport on Saturday morning, missed its approach then entered a holding pattern. According to Flightradar24, the plane circled for about two hours before making a**ther attempt to land. According to its data, the plane began climbing again after a go-around when it suddenly started to fall with vertical speed of up to 21,000ft per minute.

The Russian Emergencies Ministry said the plane clipped the ground with a wing and caught fire. Fifty-five passengers and seven crew members were killed. Some Russian aviation experts said the steep descent appeared to indicate that the crash most probably was caused by a gust of wind. “It was an uncontrollable fall,” said Sergei Kruglikov, a veteran Russian pilot, on Russian state television. He said that a sudden change in wind speed and direction could have caused the wings to abruptly lose their lifting power. A**ther seasoned pilot, Viktor Zabolotsky, said a gust of wind probably caused the airliner to lose speed and crash as the pilot was making an attempt to go round. President Vladimir Putin offered his condolences to the victims’ families and top Russian Cabinet officials flew to the crash site to oversee the investigation. [email protected]
