.Passengers not hurt in landing accident to fly out this Sunday.



MOSCOW, December 5 (Itar-Tass) -- Passengers from the
Moscow-Makhachkala airliner, who were not hurt in the emergency landing
accident in Domodedovo on Saturday will fly out aboard a Dagestan Airlines
reserve plane that will leave for the Dagestani capital on Sunday morning.
The Saturday accident in Domodedovo killed two people. One of them is
the Dagestani president's brother Gadzhimurad Magomedov, a medical source
told Itar-Tass.
A Domodedovo airport source said that also Russian constitutional
court judge Gadis Gadzhiev's mother Rosa Gadzhiyeva died in the accident.
According to the Russian Health and Social Development Ministry's
information, 55 passengers from the Tu-154 remained in hospitals in Moscow
and the Moscow Region on Saturday night. Thirty two passengers received
medical assistance, but were not hospitalised.
Aboard the plane were 169 people, including nine crewmembers. The
captain with injuries was also taken to hospital.
The airliner took off from Vnukovo airport on a Moscow-Makhachkala
flight, but in 30 minutes two of its engines malfunctioned and then the
third failed. The liner made an emergency landing at Domodedovo, came off
the runway and ran into a ground hill. The fuselage broke into parts, but
there was no fire and no explosion.
The Russian Aviation Agency (Rosaviation) later said that not only the
plane engines, but also its generators and navigation system had failed.
One of the first versions of the causes supposed by experts was that
the plane had bad fuel. However, Vnukovo airport press secretary Yelena
Krylova noted the Tu-154 before the takeoff had undergone appropriate
control in full. The conducted test of the fuel showed it conformed to the
state standard.
The liner landed under bad weather conditions -- poor visibility and
low clouds, Rosaviation head Alexander Neradko told reporters.
The crew did not see the runway lights in time. When the plane came
out of clouds, little time was left for landing. Controllers all the time
guided it, but the liner landed off the runway. The plane landed on a side
line, then crossed the runway, ran onto the left side way and continued
moving there. The crew prepared the plane for landing - it was with the
gears and flaps down, and in such landing position, the plane continued
moving on the side way.
About a hundred metres away from the concrete fence of the airfield,
the liner ran into a hill. In the collision the plane broke into three
large parts, Neradko said.
An Interstate Aviation Committee source told Itar-Tass a commission
was formed to investigate the accident and it began to work.
The Investigation Committee's Moscow inter-regional transport
investigation department has opened a criminal case over the Domodedovo
accident on charges of violation of the air transport safety regulations
(Article 263, Part Three), the committee's spokesman Vladimir Markin told
Itar-Tass.
Health and Social Development Minister Tatiana Golikova and Transport
Minister Igor Levitin reported to President Dmitry Medvedev about the work
to provide aid and investigate the accident causes.
Constitutional court judge Gadis Gadzhiyev's mother was among the
people aboard the Tu-154, and she died in the landing accident. The
Dagestani president's brother who was also aboard the plane was heavily
injured, and he was hospitalised, a Domodedovo airport source told
Itar-Tass. Later it was reported that the president's brother had died.
Payment of compensations to the injured people and relatives of the
dead will begin soon, Deputy Transport Minister Valery Okulov said.
There is an agreement that insurance companies will promptly pay part
of the compensations and then the rest after all the insurance procedures
are passed, he added.
The passengers who do not need medical care will fly out for
Makhachkala on Sunday morning, a Transport Ministry source said. A reserve
plane of Dagestan Airlines arrived in Moscow.
