Sometimes you just gotta get lucky.
An SU95-type airplane that took off from Soçi in Russia with a
crew of 6 and 89 passengers, had an uneventful flight to Antalya
but experienced a hard landing last night at about nine-thirty
o'clock on runway 36R. Realizing that something had gone
badly amiss, pilot Vladimir Chernov issued a "Mayday" alert.
The hard landing broke one of the rear landing gear parts and
caused a fuel leak and a consequent fire from the engines' heat.
The Antalya Airport control tower crew reacted swiftly to inform
firefighters who were on the scene in one minute because the
burning plane slid right in front of the firehouse (!). The fire
was extinguished in two minutes.
However (!), there were still 3 tons of fuel in the airplane so a
great tragedy was averted because of the good fortune of the
airplane ending up so close to the firehouse. An alcohol test
given to pilot Chernov and his co-pilot turned out negative.
All on board were unhurt.
A month ago, this same Azımuth Airlines SU95 aircraft took
off from Mineralnye Vody on 16 October headed for İvanovo
but at an altitude of 10 kilometers low hydraulic pressure forced
the plane to make an emergency landing at Vnukovo. All 102
passengers and the 6 crew members escaped the incident
without injury.
