In September 2008, the female passengers of the Boeing 737 found that the captain was in an abnormal state, and the plane eventually crashed straight into the railway, and exploded violently, killing all 88 people on board, including a general with a special identity.

On September 14, 2008, the Boeing 737 of North Russian Airlines Flight 821 carried six crew members and 82 passengers, including Presidential Adviser Troshev, who served as commander of the North Caucasus Military District during the Second Chechen War. The airliner took off from Moscow to Perm Grand Savino Airport.

Before taking off, the captain briefly described the voyage information to the passengers through the radio, he did not say it did not matter, this speech made the passengers frightened, a lady sent a text message to a friend with trepidation: "It's terrible, the captain talks, it sounds like a drunken look!" ”

However, before they could finish talking, the airliner was ready to take off. Although everyone was worried, no one would have thought that this would be a journey with no return. After the passenger plane took off smoothly, with the help of autopilot, it successfully flew most of the voyage and looked like it was about to reach its destination.

The captain once again informed everyone by radio that Flight 821 was about to land. Disturbingly, he made two mistakes in a short brief passage, which also indicated that the next landing was doomed to be uneven. At the critical moment, the tower asked them to descend to an altitude of 2682 meters and enter the field along another route.

The two drivers were very puzzled, how did they suddenly change the runway? Doing so can easily lead to accidents. The tower quickly explained: "Because another A319 airliner is about to take off from this runway, we changed the course. ”

The tower reminded them that the airport was raining lightly, but fortunately, the visibility was 10 kilometers, and safe landing should not be a big problem. At the same time they were asked to turn to the right, lowering the altitude to 2070 meters. The co-pilot immediately notified the cabin according to the captain's instructions: "Please take the flight attendant in place, please fasten the seat belt, the plane is about to land!" ”

When everything was ready, the captain suddenly asked, "From what altitude should we start landing?" The co-pilot's face was blindfolded, and he always felt that the captain was not in a state, was there anything on his mind? Didn't the tower just say to descend from 2000 meters and turn right into the runway? I forgot all about it so quickly.

At this time, the tower again informed them, lowering the height of the passenger aircraft to 610 meters, and the captain ordered the co-pilot to accelerate immediately and confirm with the tower that it had entered the four sides. The co-pilot asked the captain to help set the flaps to 30 degrees, after all, "adjusting the flaps" is a crucial part of the passenger aircraft's take-off and landing, and there must be no mistakes.

However, the captain did not seem to have returned to his senses, he let the co-pilot operate on his own, and the co-pilot successfully set the flaps and lowered the landing gear. But he was surprised to find that the passenger plane was turning to the left. It turned out that when I just turned to the right, the automatic throttle of the airliner was unexpectedly lifted.

This means that the airliner has finished autopiloting, and 25 seconds have passed, and despite the co-pilot's efforts to operate to the right, the airliner is desperately tilting to the left. Obviously, the thrust of the engines on the left and right sides of the airliner is inconsistent, and the thrust of the engine on the right side reaches 60%, while the thrust on the left side is only 40%.

In fact, the maintenance personnel have long discovered this problem, and they recorded in the maintenance log of the past few days that there is a huge difference of 5 centimeters between the two throttle control levers of the airliner. Although it is somewhat dangerous, as long as you carefully control the throttle thrust or adjust the aileron angle, you can still maintain the balance of the airliner.

The tower also noticed Flight 821, which not only did not drop the altitude as required, but had been climbing slowly, so it asked the crew in disbelief, what the hell was going on? The captain thought everything was normal, and the co-pilot felt that the passenger plane could not be suppressed, and he did not know what the problem was.

The tower had to remind them again: "You have deviated from the approach route, now stop the approach, re-enter the five sides, turn right and head to 360, descend to 610 meters, and maintain the altitude." ”

The captain tried to continue to approach, and was immediately rejected by the tower, but the ground radar showed that the passenger plane still did not turn right, but continued to fly straight forward, the tower vaguely felt that there was a big problem with the passenger plane, just when the captain replied to the tower "everything is fine", the co-pilot was frightened and scattered.

In a panic, he shouted at the captain, "Take over, you take over!" ”

The flight was supposed to be operated by co-pilot Alabodin, while Captain Medvedev was responsible for monitoring the instruments and liaising with the tower. However, the co-pilot helplessly found that even if he tried his best to adjust the flight attitude, the passenger plane did not have the slightest intention of turning right to land, and always went all the way forward.

If you miss the airport again, the captain took a serious look at the "attitude meter" and thought that the airliner was tilting to the right, so he did not hesitate to take the rod to the left. The airliner suddenly rolled to the left and quickly swooped toward the ground, and the alarm of the flight attitude meter suddenly sounded through the cockpit: "Pay attention to the flight attitude!" ”

The two pilots realized that something was wrong, and the co-pilot shouted to the captain in fear: "Wrong, don't do this, you should go to the other side!" ”

Because the "flight attitude meter" of the American Boeing 737 airliner is just the opposite of the russian Tu 134, the captain did not react for a while and mistakenly regarded the Boeing airliner as the Tu 134. So he was supposed to take the lever to the right, but he saw it to the left, and the co-pilot wanted to correct it, but it was too late.

As the "ground warning" sounded, the captain desperately pulled up the joystick, and the tower was doomed to fall rapidly, hurriedly calling, trying to get them to quickly pull up. However, the airliner crashed straight into the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the violent explosion tore the Boeing 737 to pieces and scattered everywhere.

Rescue teams arrived immediately, but all 88 people on board were dead.

Although the inconsistent thrust of the engines on both sides was an important cause of the accident, the captain's drunken driving caused a mistake in judgment, which was the direct cause of the crash. This bitter lesson tells us that we should not drink and drive at any time, after all, life safety is above all else, and carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years. Of course, the daily maintenance of passenger aircraft should be meticulous.
