From the presidential plane to fighter jets: a string of accidents in a week

The past week has been full of air and ground incidents involving various types of aircraft. Traditionally, the United States Air Force has the largest number of accidents, which is apparently caused by the increased intensity of flights.

On September 1, there were reports of a crash near Norfolk during a training flight of the US Navy Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye reconnaissance aircraft (this type of equipment is an important part of the aircraft carrier's wing). Four crew members safely left the vehicle in distress through the main cockpit door, already equipped with parachutes, as dictated by safety requirements. They reportedly received no serious injuries. The plane was completely burnt out on the ground.

"Remains" E-2C

On the same day, the Afghan National Army crashed while landing in Takhar province. As stated, the cause of the accident was a technical malfunction. On board the vehicle carrying the wounded, there were 17 people. Only two of them received “superficial injuries”.

Mi-17

The plane of the French president, Airbus A330, suffered damage to its left wing earlier this week, which caused it to hit the hangar wall while it was being towed. The incident took place during the stay of the French leader in Lebanese Beirut. According to reports, the car was repaired by specialists on the spot.

On September 2, a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone was damaged during an attempt to take off at Holloman AFB. Details of the incident were not reported.

On September 3, a CH-53E Super Stallion US Air Force helicopter assigned to New River Air Force Base in North Carolina made an emergency landing. All of the Marines left the vehicle unharmed before it was engulfed in flames and destroyed by the fire.

There is still no complete clarity regarding the accident that occurred in China. An unidentified PLA Air Force fighter, believed to be a Su-35 or Chengdu J-10, reportedly crashed near Guilin, in the southern province of Guangxi. At the same time, the 5th brigade of the 2nd air division of the Air Force is located in Guilin, which operates another type of equipment - the J-11, an interceptor created on the basis of the Soviet Su-27.

The pilot successfully ejected, but was injured while landing. The scene of the incident is located 900 km from Taiwan's airspace. In connection with the Indian media, there were unconfirmed reports that he was shot down by the air defense of the island state.

Air Force Command has emphasized that it strongly condemns such malicious acts aimed at deliberately creating and disseminating false information on the Internet in an attempt to confuse audiences.

- said the Taiwanese military.

In the 19th century, there were many times more aviation accidents and disasters. But then there was no Internet and smartphones.
On the contrary, they were classified.

The planes were already there! In 1912 - the first air squadron in Russia.
In 1912, the pilot of this squadron, Nesterov, for the first time in the world, performed a "loop"!
And I, by nature, am an optemist. I did not notice how the 20th century flew by, because 40 years of them (80 with seniority) I spent in "5 Ocean", and in the other four I only swam (in the Arctic - up to my waist, and then the "eggs" jumped to my throat, as well as on Baikal).
I am glad that my "age-old mistake" did not go unnoticed on VO. Hi everyone !

What a storm of emotions my typo, just one figure, caused! Instead of the 20th century, the 19th century! Just think - century there, century here ... But that says a lot. I like it ! The people at VO are attentive, principled, and responsible.

Nothing surprising. The first plane crash happened in the 6th century BC. Mr. Icarus violated the rules of flying. as a result, he fell into the depths of the sea.
This is probably why the pilots are still afraid to splash down. Self survival instinct

1900 (one thousand nine hundredth) in the Gregorian calendar is a common year, starting on Monday. This is 1900 AD, 900 of the 2nd millennium, 100 year of the XIX century, 10th year 10th decade XNUMXth centurya, 1 year 1900s.

Why would I want your Vika, and what did you do with her here with simple arithmetic? The year 1900 ended, so 19 centuries (centuries) passed and with the beginning of 1901 the 20th century (century) began. If it is difficult for you to operate with large numbers, then a simple question is 11, 12, 13 ... which ten, first or second? All normal people now live in the 21st century, and what are you in?

What's the problem? All accidents occurred with military aircraft, the military has its own "jokes" and "rules". And since when did the crumpled wing during towing become a "accident"? Has this changed flight safety? If I push the car into the garage and scratch the door, for example, this can also probably be counted as a car accident. Although, probably yes, with a stretch you can.

Your door, even in theory, cannot influence road safety ... Even if you tear it open in labs ...

But the cracks in the base of the wing are easy ...

[orionvitt]

Quote: your1970

Well, firstly, in our case, not at the base, but at the wing tip. And secondly, I repeat. An insignificant incident, at the airfield, during towing, without casualties, corrected right there on the spot, to put one happy with the fall of the aircraft is incorrect.

Yes, almost the same thing when it comes to insurance. A crowd of services, a bunch of papers, and if a woman, then all the relatives have stress.

[Mavrikiy]

There is still no complete clarity about the accident that occurred in China. An unidentified PLA Air Force fighter, believed to be a Su-35 or Chengdu J-10, reportedly crashed

Since the Chinese are silent, then the Chengdu J-10 or the Chinese clone of Su has come to a head.

[APASUS]

With the end of the pandemic, the intensity of flights increases, and therefore the accident rate. Although there is probably a complex of problems

[Terenin]

Quote: APASUS

Although there is probably a complex of problems

Of course, there is a very big difference, for example, between the definitions of "dangerous aircraft" and "accident caused by the crew." What the fuck is the correct statistic here?

[Dmitry Makarov]

The series of air crashes in the United States is not associated with the intensity of flights, but with the high wear and tear of aircraft.
For almost 20 years, the United States bombed the Papuans around the world, and rattled their relics in front of everyone, as a result, the wear of the gliders is 80%, many components have not been produced for a long time, including aircraft engines.

Thank God we're fine with this

Good jaundiced news title. And a good photo for him.

[Lipchanin]

The past week has been full of incidents in the air and on the ground,

And underwater? Let's put everything together

[1536]

All of this is very similar to violations of technological discipline and safety. The consciousness of the fact that any of their actions can be canceled by pressing the "Cancel" button began to take root in people at the genetic level, but when it is not there, tragedy occurs.

[Tuzik]

Look at the flight radar, there is no overcrowding in the sky, with such a huge number of aircraft and flights - the percentage of accidents is scanty, so that aviation is one of the safest means of transportation.

[Cat]

Well, yes, everything is correct if we compare the victim / passenger traffic parameter. But the number of victims in a car accident is a maximum of dozens, and in an aviation accident, it only starts from dozens. Therefore, every plane crash has an almost worldwide resonance. Hence all sorts of aerophobia, but I have not heard of autophobia.

[Cat]

The plane of the French president, Airbus A330, suffered damage to its left wing earlier this week, which caused it to hit the hangar wall during its towing

Here! And I wondered why Boeings do folding wingtips, like on decks.

[Rzzz]

Only recently they began to make the 777 on the latest model. And only because to make the wing larger, the airfield infrastructure limits the maximum wing span.

[Cat]

latest model 777

Yes, I saw rollers in the tube. Awesome car, like its price. In general, it would probably be cheaper for airfield blacks to make plug-in brains so that they do not cling to when towing.

[Sarduor]

What kind of air defense is this that hits 900 km? I'm talking about the possible reason for the crash of the Chinese su-35, which is named in the media

[iouris]

"Results of the week. Without Evgeny Kiselev".

[Moskovit]

When I was in China for work, in one of the cities near Shanghai, I was very surprised at the numerous flights at a fairly low altitude over densely populated areas of Chinese military aircraft. Although the southwest of China is so populated that there is no place for living there).
But it was unpleasant. Then I got used to it.
