Named the main version of the causes of the collapse of the Mi-8 in Ukraine

Ukrainian media reported on the crash of the Mi-8 helicopter in the Poltava region. According to the latest data, the helicopter of the Ukrainian Helicopters Company was flying over the city of Kremenchug at night. It was noted that there were 4 people in his forest: the commander, the co-pilot and flight engineers. All four died.

It is especially noted that the crew members who were in the cockpit had a lot of flight experience. There were no cadets of the flight school in the Mi-8.
The age of the dead is reported by the TV channel TSN: 48, 50, 58 years and 54.

It is reported that before the fall, witnesses heard several explosions before the helicopter was in flames.
In the area of ​​Kremenchug, in which the helicopter fell, urgently disconnected electricity and gas supply.

The nearest houses are located approximately 150-200 meters from the crash site of the helicopter. The representative of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Poltava region of Ukraine explained why the firemen for a long time could not cope with the fire:

Two factors contributed to this - the presence of a large amount of fuel - kerosene - aviation and structural elements. There was magnesium, which is difficult to extinguish water. Therefore, the fuel that was spilled again and again caught fire.

The formed commission finds out the reasons of the incident. The basic version is a piloting error, as a result of which the helicopter made a collision with power lines.

[Anarchist]

Dmitry, all the same, everyone will write off the spies from the Russian Federation ... A couple of days will pass and there will be a Russian trace! After all, the bad fuel in the tanks was already written off to us.

At such an age, it would be time to acquire brains. If only the posts could hear them, then conclusions can be drawn. Obviously not the boys.

He hit the TV tower, or rather one of the cables with which it holds.

[The black]

I am not an aviator, not a submariner, not blind. But to fly around the television tower, to slab around the cliff, and to run on all sails in the dark near the abyss, not knowing where - idiocy

Mi-8 ... Explicitly not equipped for night flights
-----'----- '

[Dimka75]

tower 220 m, three cables - stretch marks along the perimeter from about 150 meters in height
the helicopter touched the cable, began to circle and fall, fell on a power line, caught fire
fell between private buildings and high-rise buildings, only 200 meters - on a clean plot - many residents were lucky

The helicopter itself is not, but the pilots on the helmet have night vision goggles.

Killed:

... There was magnesium, which is difficult to extinguish with water. Therefore, the fuel that was spilled ignited again and again ...

Decommunized everything, including brains. To drive such specialists from the State Emergencies Service with a filthy broom. Although in principle this is probably the best that remains in ruin ...
It is necessary to manage to fill in the burning jet fuel with water, while complaining about the presence of magnesium in the structural elements ...
Even in cars, from the USSR times, foam and powder fire extinguishers ...

We have to manage to fill the burning jet fuel with water.

The death of people is always bad ...
On the other hand, what they wanted from this junk with blades ...

... The main version is a pilot error, as a result of which the helicopter made a collision with power lines ...

In the conditions of the Ruins, the fact of flying is already something. As for the versions, it is easiest to blame on the pilot error.
Honestly, this fleet is not finished - the rubbish that could not be released at all, ukroskakunskie officials can not, "guides" does not allow.

Honestly, this fleet of this country is rubbish

And the pilots are not the first freshness, even those that remained of the Union.

48, 50, 58 years and 54 years.

What can you do, there are no others in Ukraine.

A catastrophe is always bad. No one is safe from this. And the version of the collision with the power transmission line indicates neglect of the flight manual.

A. And the version of the collision with the power transmission line indicates a neglect of the manual for the production of flights.

Often they spar over roads so that navigation does not bother. And there are poles and wires.

What is this pilot who does not orient himself on the ground? Moreover, roads are not always a direct route from point A to point B, and now everyone has navigators. Actually, for such a folly over public roads, it is necessary to punish, so that later, if something happens, do not blame the tragedy on the “human factor”.

In combat conditions, satellite navigation may not be, and the road is a guideline.

and the road is a landmark.

Namely, a guideline, not a direction. In this case, this is ordinary air hooliganism.

Was the tower even highlighted? I won’t be surprised if there is NO, they have everything through the opu.
