Yesterday morning, December 25, became tragic for the entire country - a Tu-154 military aircraft belonging to the Russian Air Force crashed into the waters of the Black Sea. There were a total of 92 people on the ship, writes NewsTut. The plane was heading to Syria to organize a festive concert; it carried artists, the press, and the famous doctor Elizaveta Glinka.


Currently, search work is being actively carried out in the waters of the Black Sea at the site where the first debris was discovered. They involved more than three thousand people, professional divers and related equipment. Work is carried out in three shifts. In the coming hours, two manned deep-sea vehicles from the Russian Geographical Society will join the search. The work is being carried out mostly under water; the diving depth of search engines is up to 70 meters. On the morning of December 26, 11 bodies of the dead were raised to the surface from the water. The first 10 victims were sent to Moscow by special aircraft Il-76 for identification.


According to an official representative of the special services, a criminal case has been opened into the crash. There are two main versions of the tragedy: a fatal error by the pilots and a critical breakdown of the aircraft after refueling. The investigation does not consider the terrorist attack as the main version for objective reasons. The landing in Adler was not organized as planned, and the Chkalovsky military airfield is under heavy security. Today, by decree of President V.V. Putin, a national day of mourning has been declared. A memorial service will be held in Orthodox churches.


The names of the victims are presented below.

Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said at a briefing that a terrorist attack is not included in the main versions of the crash of the Tu-154 plane of the Russian Ministry of Defense, NewsTut reports.


According to him, the main versions “do not include the version of a terrorist act”; the main causes of this disaster are considered to be either technical condition or piloting errors.


“The purpose of the government commission’s work is not to establish the reasons that led to this disaster, to this accident. However, I want to say that in organizing the work we need to understand what actually happened to the plane,” Sokolov added.


He emphasized that the reasons are being established by the investigation, as well as by a special technical commission of the Ministry of Defense.

All 92 people on board were killed. These are eight crew members, which, according to the command, were experienced and highly qualified. The list of dead includes eight military personnel, 64 artists of the Alexandrov Song and Dance Ensemble, who flew to congratulate the Russian Aerospace Forces air group on the New Year at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria, the head of the Fair Aid charity foundation Elizaveta Glinka, known as Doctor Lisa, two federal civil servants.


Elizaveta Glinka recently, on December 8, received the State Prize for outstanding achievements in the field of charitable and human rights activities. The award was presented to her personally by Vladimir Putin. Dr. Lisa has been helping seriously ill people for almost 20 years and has more than once taken children from the front line for treatment.


She first came to Syria on humanitarian missions in 2015. Since then, her flights there have become regular: she has been engaged in the delivery and distribution of medicines, and providing medical assistance to the population of the Arab Republic. Even now, despite the tragedy, Dr. Lisa’s work lives on - the humanitarian cargo that she was going to transfer to the people of Syria was delivered, it was carried on another plane. Colleagues talk about Elizaveta Glinka - she helped everyone, because with her work she inspired the main thing - to overcome indifference.

Channel One correspondent Dmitry Runkov, cameraman Vadim Denisov, and sound engineer Alexander Soydov were heading to Syria. Dmitry Runkov began his television career in his native Arkhangelsk, then moved to St. Petersburg. He came to Channel One in Moscow a year ago. In just a few days, Dmitry Runkov was going to celebrate his anniversary: ​​on December 29 he would have turned 30 years old.


Vadim Denisov was one of the most experienced operators: he worked at the First for almost two decades. For ten years, Alexander Soydov was among the channel’s employees. In addition to his professional activities, he was interested in music. Now their names are on the sad list of those who died in this terrible disaster.


Most of the dead were artists of the Alexandrov Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army. Almost the entire choir of this group, led by its leader, Valery Khalilov, was on board. He was also the artistic director of the Spasskaya Tower festival of military bands, which became one of the calling cards not only of Moscow, but of the whole country.

Its artists have more than once gone with concerts to hot spots on the planet - Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and most recently to Syria.























15:02 Before the end of the press conference, Sokolov emphasized that the version of the terrorist attack is not considered as the main one.

15:01 Payments to family members of military personnel will be made through SOGAZ, Lekarev said. “There were 20 military personnel on board the plane, and yesterday 11 families received payments of 5.8 million rubles,” Pankov, in turn, said.

15:00 Bainetov said that “he cannot judge the reliability of the information about the plane’s nose up.” “We take an identified approach, everything is checked and analyzed with the objective information that is available. It’s premature to talk about what the angle was when it collided with the water surface,” he noted.

14:58 According to Baynetov, the entire flight before the crash took about 70 seconds, the altitude at which the plane was was about 250 meters, the speed was within 360-370 km/h.

14:57 Answering a journalist’s question about a possible terrorist attack, Baynetov noted that the version of the terrorist attack is also being considered, since there could have been a mechanical impact. “A terrorist attack is not necessarily associated with an explosion. (Therefore) We do not deny any of these versions,” Baynetov said.

14:53 The Chkalov air base will be reformed in connection with the revival of the aviation division of the Ministry of Defense, Pankov said, calling not to link this with the disaster.

Divers discovered one of the flight recorders at the crash site of a Tu-154 aircraft of the Ministry of Defense in the Black Sea. This was reported to TASS by law enforcement agencies.

“During the search work, one black box was discovered under the aircraft cabin. “It will be removed from the water in the near future,” the source said.

TASS emergency services also reported that the bodies of three victims were found in the area of ​​the plane crash.

“During the night, during search operations, the bodies of three dead and a large number of remains were discovered,” the source said.

23:59 An employee of the coast guard of the FSB border troops was in the waters of the city of Sochi at the time of the crash of the Tu-154 of the Russian Ministry of Defense. As Kommersant reports, citing his testimony, the plane, instead of gaining altitude, began to descend quickly. Moreover, even for landing on water, the position of the liner in the air was strange.

According to him, the plane was moving at low speed with its nose unnaturally raised up, resembling a motorcycle on one wheel. Soon the aircraft touched the surface of the sea with its tail and quickly sank.

As the publication reports, citing experts, these testimonies confirm the version of a pilot error. It is assumed that the plane could have crashed after the crew brought the aircraft to supercritical angles of attack during takeoff. As noted, the separation from the strip occurred at the standard speed of 345 km/h. But just a few seconds after taking off, the aircraft began to lose altitude. It is possible that the pilots could have started to lift the plane too vigorously. But technical factors are also considered possible. Among them is overloading the aircraft.

According to him, eyewitnesses said that the plane flew low for an unusually long time without gaining altitude.

Thus, the agency’s interlocutor said, a technical malfunction becomes the priority version. “We are most likely talking about a possible breakdown of the units responsible for gaining altitude, or insufficient engine thrust. At the same time, the human factor cannot be ruled out, which could have contributed to the emergence of a critical situation,” the source emphasized.

21:38 The body of one of the crew members was found at the crash site. “During the inspection of the crash site, the body of a man in uniform was discovered.

Earlier, the Sogaz insurance company confirmed its readiness to pay compensation to the relatives of deceased servicemen as soon as possible.

15:43 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu personally leads the search and rescue operation in the Black Sea, where a Tu-154 military aircraft crashed. This was reported by the press service of the military department.

“The search and rescue operation is managed from the National Defense Control Center under the leadership of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Shoigu,” the statement said.

“The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Shoigu, hears hourly reports from the heads of military command and control agencies on the progress of the search and rescue operation and promptly makes the necessary decisions,” the department added.

15:40 The decision to decommission Tu-154 aircraft would be premature. This was stated to reporters in St. Petersburg by the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov in connection with the plane crash of a Tu-154 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense that occurred over the Black Sea.

Early this morning, a few minutes after takeoff in Sochi, a Tu-154 crashed, carrying military personnel, media representatives and members of the ensemble named after A. V. Alexandrov. They were heading to the Khmeimim airbase to congratulate the Russian Aerospace Forces servicemen on the upcoming holidays.

“There are many aircraft in the world that are no longer in production, but are in operation. The assigned service life of this aircraft today is 40 years, and if we take foreign analogues, then some aircraft have a service life of up to 60 years, so in aviation there are completely different principles for assigning a resource, the question of time to cycle. Therefore, such a decision today would be premature,” Manturov said.

15:30 Briefing by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense on the situation with the TU-154 crash

15:20 A Tu-154 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense crashed in the Black Sea near Sochi on the morning of December 25. The passenger list included Elizaveta Glinka, also known as Doctor Lisa, a Russian doctor and philanthropist.

15:14 Channel One, Rossiya, NTV and REN TV are removing entertainment programs from the air in connection with the crash of the Tu-154.

The press service of Channel One told TASS that “today the project “Just the Same” and all New Year’s promotional videos and inter-program screensavers were removed from the channel’s airwaves.” In addition, as a representative of the press service reported, a decision was made to remove the episode of the program “What? Where? When?”, which was on the program at 22:30 Moscow time.

A representative of “Russia 1” told TASS that the channel had taken off the air the program “You Are Allowed to Laugh on the New Year,” which, according to the broadcast schedule, was supposed to air at 11:20 Moscow time.

15:03 Doctor Lisa’s “Fair Aid” Foundation hopes that on Sunday there could have been a second plane flying to Syria, in addition to the crashed Tu-154, and the head of the organization, Elizaveta Glinka, could have been on it. “We adhere to the tactic that the Ministry of Defense will give an official comment - confirmation, refutation, whether there were latecomers, someone, perhaps, did not make it on the special flight. But everyone who has now received the lists of those who were on board, I am sure, is praying and hoping for only one thing: that a miracle happened, that their loved one did not get on the special board at the last moment,” Glinka’s assistant Natalya Avilova told the agency.

15:00 Medvedev: everyone affected by the Tu-154 tragedy will be provided with the necessary assistance. The Prime Minister also expressed his condolences to the relatives, friends, and colleagues of the passengers of the crashed plane. “This terrible tragedy took the lives of people full of strength and plans.
