Miracle on Cornuson: A321 emergency landing

A miracle on Kukuruzon - this is what the emergency landing of the Russian plane will be called by users of social networks around the world ... In the early morning, August 15 of 2019, Airbus A321 followed the Moscow-Simferopol route. The plane of Ural Airlines was fully operational and refueled to capacity. Nothing boded ill. If not for a flock of birds swirling not far from the airfield.

 

 

When climbing, taking off from an airfield in Zhukovsky, the plane burst at high speed into a flock of seagulls. Several dozen birds fell into both aircraft engines and caused a turbine ignition. Having lost traction, the plane turned into a glider, which is not so easy to return to the ground. A full tank of fuel and 226 passengers is a hopeless situation for any pilot.

The crew commander, Damir Yusupov and the co-pilot, George Murzin, made an extraordinary decision. Planning to land a plane on a corn field. In violation of the instructions of the Airbus Corporation, the brave pilots unanimously decided not to release the chassis, but to sit on the "belly". Later, the commission will call this decision the only right one. After all, with full tanks of fuel, racing over a field on a wheelbase could cause an airplane explosion.

 

 

The emergency landing of the A321 is compared to a miracle on the Hudson. As a joke, one of the users of the social network called what happened “Miracle on Cornuzon”. And the people picked up. Now in Russia there are jeweler pilots who have been able to save hundreds of lives.

 

 

Perhaps, after such events, even a film about hero pilots will be shot. After all, after the Hudson landing, the legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood shot a wonderful biographical film. The film Miracle on the Hudson, starring Tom Hanks, received positive reviews from viewers and film critics.
