A Tu-154 aircraft with failed flight control, navigation and radio communication systems has landed in taiga cutting a 200-meter-long swath through the forest, with no casualties and minimum damage to the plane.
I am not Russian but I love Russia. You can call me a friend of Russia. This pilot deserves the Hero of Russia Medal for bravery. He must receive it. He is a hero.
Congratulations to the pilots! Well done! BTW, I am surprised this event has not yet been reported here in western Europe.
Well DONE GUYS!! GOOD STUFF!!! Nice to see that the Russian aircraft's are strong. I am not Russian but admire how Russian people go about their work. I have never been afraid to fly in a Russian built aircraft.

Traditionally, the Western media never reports any positive Russian news. Their aim is to create a negative image of the country, and that's twenty years after the end of the Cold War. :-(
A good flight crew that is prepared and informed, yet also flexible, can save an aircraft and it's passengers. As a safety policy, I also carry a handheld aircraft radio or EPIRB ( locator ) beacon. Overall, GOOD FLYING!










As a musician I can say by guess that electronic system failure could happenes because of the turbulences in the air that brought the strong vibration/sound vibration and disturbed the balance of the electonic connections whithin the electronic system. I know that German plaines maker Luftanga developing sound proof technologies in their new planes. More electromagnetic storms (because of the weather conditioning in our planet gone worse) will be on the way and therefore - would be more crashes!!!! Lets get good pilots like this Russian!
