A Tu-154 plane skidded off the runway, crashed into a small hill and broke into three parts during an emergency landing at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Saturday, killing two and injuring 87. EMERGENCY LANDING The Dagestan Airline plane, en route from Moscow to Dagestan's capital Makhachkala, was forced to make the emergency landing after it took off from Moscow's Vnukovo airport and found that one of the three engines had failed, the Federal Air Transport Agency Rosaviatsia said. While the pilots started the emergency landing, the second engine died. And finally, when the jet was about to touch the runway, the third engine broke down. A source with the transportation department said that initial investigation suggests the plane might have suffered a power blackout. "The engines failed consecutively on the aircraft and afterward there were glitches in the generator, as a result of which the plane might have been left without power," the source was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. Dagestan Airlines, owner of the airliner, has ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack. |
