OWNER OF ARMAVIA COMPANY SURE THAT BLACK BOXES OF CRASHED A-320 WILL BE FOUND
Yerevan, May 6. ArmInfo. The owner of the Armavia company Mikhail
Bagdassarov is sure that the black boxes of the crashed A-320 will
be found.
In an interview to Gazeta.ru he says that there are still lots of
questions. The plane was landing normally. Why was it sent – in a quite
rough manner – to make the second turn? And where is the controller
who did that? Nobody can find him. He has been hidden somewhere. This
might well be done for avoiding revenge by relatives, especially
as we all remember the tragic story with the Swiss controller whose
mistake caused a collision of two planes over Boden Lake.
Bagdassarov also comments on the version that some Armenian from
Sochi was near the controller when he spoke with pilots and heard the
pilots to reportedly say that their had problems with fuel and say:
“we are landing, we must pray.” He says that, first, it is strange
that some stranger was near the controllers as nobody can enter their
room. And second, the plane was refueled in Moscow (in Yerevan fuel
is more expensive). It had 17 tons. When it came to Yerevan it had
10 tons, which should suffice him for 4 hours. Those who have little
to do with aviation think that the plane ran out of fuel. This is
not true. The crew was very experienced and would never make such a
mistake, says Bagdassarov.
