Investigation

Since the catastrophe occurred in neutral waters, responsibility for what happened to the Ministry civil aviation Egypt (ECAA), as follows from Appendix 13 (Annex 13) ICAO norms.

Two weeks after the NTSB catastrophe proposed transferring the materials of the investigation into the US FBI, as the materials were collected, which indicated that the disaster was deliberate, and not accidental.

Such a proposal did not suit the Egyptian side, and she asked NTSB to investigate further. Next, new evidence of deliberate crash was collected, but here the Egyptian government refused its initial decision and took the investigation of the catastrophe into their hands. Two investigations came to completely different conclusions: NTSB came to the conclusion that the disaster was caused by the actions of the second pilot of the reserve crew of Hamila El Batuti. Ecaa also argued that the cause of the catastrophe was in the aircraft control system.

Cultural aspects

Catastrophe Boeing 767 under nanctacket information about

Perhaps the most mysterious case in the history of aviation occurred with American writer and Pioneer Aviation Amelia Erhart.

Aviation Stories are known when airplanes also have not served a disaster signal, and after disappearance there were no traces and debris.

Here are just some of the loudest and mysterious plane crash, in which it was not without mysticism:

Amelia Erhart (1937)

The mystery of the last flight Amelia Erhart, the first female pilot, remains still unsolved. In 1937, when attempting to take a round-the-world flight on a two-door plane "Model 10 Elektra" Amelia Erhart and her noun Fred Nunan disappeared in the central part Pacific Ocean. According to one of the versions, the aircraft simply ended the fuel, on the other - Amelia Erhart and Frederick Nunan were captured by the Japanese, who built their military bases on the islands located in this part of the Pacific Ocean.

Airplane "Sessna" (1972)

On October 16, 1972, a member of the US Congress from the Democratic Party, Thomas Hale Boggs and politician Nick Begich rose on board the two-dimensional "Sessna", which was sent to the capital of Alaska - the city of Juno. However, the aircraft was not destined to deliver passengers to the destination - he disappeared without a trace. Even 39-day search, which were called "the most large-scale in the history of Alaska," because 70 aircraft were involved in them, did not give any results.

Different assumptions were made about the cause of the aircraft's crash. It was rumored that the plane was shot down by Serbs because of the Croatian roots of Begich. Another version pointed to the political past of Boggs, who was part of the Commission Warren.

Flight 800 TWA (1996)

Airplane Boeing 747, heading from New York to Rome, exploded in the air and fell into the Atlantic Ocean. All 230 passengers who were on board were killed. Experts from the National Security Council on transport found that the likely cause of the airplane crash was the explosion of the fuel tank, which occurred due to the unnequalized wiring.

However, supporters of the theory of conspiracy are confident that the cause of the explosion was laid on the board of the aircraft bomb or a clash with the US naval rocket.

In the course of the previous summer, the National Security Council confirmed that neither testimony, nor wreckage found, no entry from onboard recorders confirm the assumption about the collision of the aircraft with a rocket.


Flight Egyptair 990 (1999)

Airplane Boeing 767, which carried out regular flights between Los Angeles and Cairo, crashed and fell into the Atlantic Ocean almost immediately after the takeoff. The catastrophe claimed 200 people. After a 2-year investigation, it was found that the crash of the aircraft was caused by the incorrect actions of the crew commander.

All the evidence collected by the National Council, which includes the trajectory of aircraft flight and data from onboard recorders, indicated that the commander and senior assistant in the last minutes of their lives were trying to take control of the aircraft into their hands. The senior officer repeatedly repeated: "I rely on God." Such a version did not suit the Egyptian side, and she put forward her - the cause of the disaster was in faults of the aircraft control system.


Air France Flight 447 (2009)

This deadly air incident occurred in 2009 with the participation of Airbus A 330, which flew from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. The aircraft with 228 passengers on board fell into the water of the Atlantic Ocean. As in the case of the missing Malaysian aircraft, the Air France pilots did not file a distress signal. A full-scale search and rescue operation for five days did not give any results. Then some fragments of the tail of the aircraft were found.

Recently, the world shook the AIRBUS A320 crash, which occurred, as believed, due to the fact that the second pilot decided to commit suicide. According to statistics for 30 recent years Pilot deliberately sent airplanes in the last peak. All pilots that decided to suicide were men, and most of them, as it turned out later, went to such a terrible step due to problems in the family.

1. Andreas lovers - Germanwings, flight 9525 (2015)


Literally 2 days ago, April 4th the search for the bodies of those killed on the site of the Cashaster of the flight 9525 of Germanwings were ended. Recall that the Airbus A320 aircraft, followed from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, crashed into the Alps mountainside. At the same time, all 144 passengers and 6 crew members were killed. As believed, the culprit of the catastrophe was the second pilot, Andreas lovers. After the aircraft commander came to the toilet, Andreas locked in the cockpit, turned off the autopilot and sent the plane directly to the mountain. As it became known, lovers were treated from depression.

2. Hamil El Batuti - Egyptair, flight 990 (1999)


On October 31, 199, the Boeing 767-366er company Egyptair, who performed the flight between Los Angeles and Cairir, crashed into the water near Nantucket Island. At the same time killed 218 people. The subsequent investigation conducted by the Americans showed that the reason for the accident was the deliberate act by the second pilot of Hamilya El Batuti. The Egyptians argue that the accident was caused by a mechanical breakdown. However, on the records from the black box, he can hear how the second pilot El Batuti whispered "I rely on God", after which the turns of the aircraft engines fell to a minimum. When Captain Ahmed El Habashi returned to the cockpit, he desperately tried to dial height, but the second pilot continued to whisper "I rely on God" and pull the steering wheel down.

3. Erminio Dos Santos Fernandez - Lam Mozambique Airlines, Flight 470 (2013)


Two years before Andreas lovers organized the tragedy of Germanwings, a very similar disaster happened in Mozambique, during which all 33 people were killed on board. Captain Erminio Dos Santos Fernandez set up the autopilot in such a way that it was obvious to his "clear intention" to send a plane to the ground. Dos Santos Fernandez waited until the second pilot came to the toilet, locked in the cockpit, reconfigured autopilot and ignored warning signals about the danger of land approaching. Pilot motifs are unknown.

4. Tsu Wai Min - Silkair, flight MI 185 (1997)

Boeing 737-36N flew out of Jakarta, Indonesia in Singapore on December 19, 1997. The weather was clear, and the aircraft is almost new. The plane reached its cruising height of 10 kilometers above the island of Sumatra, after which it suddenly turned over and entered almost vertical peak. When he crashed into supersonic speed In the river in the vicinity of Palembang, all 104 people died aboard. The plane crashed with such a force that the largest chip was just 3 meters the size. When investigating, it was found that the onboard speech recorder was intentionally disabled. The main version of the catastrophe is the suicide pilot Tsu Wai Mina, who, as it turned out, had huge debts.

5. Chris Fatswe - Air Botswana (1999)


Chris Fatswe decided to reduce the scores with life on October 11, 1999, when he flew from Gaborone airport and circled in the air in an ATR-42 empty aircraft for almost two hours. He contacted the radio with the controllers and announced: "I intend to commit suicide," after which I demanded to talk to the vice-president of Botswana Jan Hama. FATTSV threatened to crash on the airplane at the Air Botswana office building, but after he was told that there are people there, he sent his ATR-42 into two other such planes standing on the ground, destroying everything in a huge explosion.

6. Sadezi Kathagin - Japan Airlines, flight 350 (1983)


In 1982, the 35-year-old Captain of the aircraft Sadezi Kathagini included during the flight engines of their DC-8 aircraft on the reverse, as a result of which the aircraft produced emergency landing on water in Tokyo Bay. 24 people died out of 174, located on board. On the airport, it was reported that the status of kataagiri abnormal and "pilot loudly crying in the cabin." After the beginning of the investigation, it turned out that Sadezi Kathagini suffered from hallucinations and depression to flight.

7. Unes Heati - Royal Air Maroc, flight 630 (1994)


32-year-old Captain Royal Air Maroc Unes Heati In 1994, purposefully sent a passenger aircraft ATR 42-312 to the mountain. As a result, all 44 people who were on board were killed. As the investigation showed, the reason was the suicide of the captain caused by unfortunate love.

8. Brian J Hedzhlin - Incident in Saint George Municipal Airport (2012)


In 2012, Pilot Brian J Hedzhlin tried to catch the Skywest aircraft at the time when he was looking for suspicion of the murder of his former girlfriend. 40-year-old pilot in the process of grinding on taketon strip He hooked the airport building with the wing, rammed several cars, after which he sent a liner to park a car and committed suicide.

9. Vladimir Serkov - Novosibirsk (1976)


Early in the morning of September 26, 1976, the pilot Vladimir Serkov produced an unauthorized taking off on An-2 aircraft from North Airport in Novosibirsk, Russia. He circled over the city for some time at a maximum altitude, after which she rammed a residential building. The plane crashed into the building between the third and fourth floor, breaking through the hole in the wall near the meter in diameter. Serkov was killed during a collision, which caused a fire and was the reason for another 4 deaths. During the investigation, it was found that the former wife Serkov, who changed him and decided to leave her husband, lived just in this house.

And yet, according to statistics, the likelihood of crashing on the plane is negligible compared to the danger to get into a plane crash. We collected.
