The Soviet Union was a very strange, but in fact a sad tendency - not to give publicity really large-scale serious problems. A scene of the matter occurred in a variety of industries. Passenger traffic was no exception. It was, at least three terrible catastrophe, which the authorities have preferred silence.
Clash of 1979
In 1979, the sky was really brutal attack on Dneprodzerzhinsk. In the sky, we faced two passenger aircraft Tu-134. The cause of the tragedy became an air traffic controller, who is later found out a consequence, he was a young officer. That lack of experience and employee negligence Airport and caused the collision. As a result of the disaster killed 178 passengers. This incident has not escaped anyone. For a long time, the authorities prefer to hide what happened in the sky at Dneprodzerzhinsk.
Catastrophe in 1981
Another major tragedy in the skies occurred just two years after Dneprodzerzhinsk. In 1981, in the skies over Leningrad in the Tu-104 has a problem. On board were the command of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union. Among the 52 people passengers was 6 admirals. Later it turns out that the cause of failure was the overloading of the aircraft, the military were loaded on board too many things, with the result that the plane fell and crashed. It is curious that the crew knew about it (as has established a consequence), but not mind and said a high-ranking officers.
Clash of 1983
Two years later was tragic event, but also a few funny, no matter how cynical it may sound. In 1983, the ship "Alexander Suvorov" crashed into the span of the bridge and cut off a significant part of their own body. As a result of the disaster killed 600 people! At the moment of collision with a bridge over it and it was also a freight train, with which to the ship began to roll in the load. The sad irony is that the ship for some reason tried to pass under the bridge, which for this purpose is absolutely not suitable. That's how human negligence can carry several hundred lives. It makes you wonder about the level of responsibility, is not it?
I want more of the history of the USSR? How about to learn why microwave ovens were banned in the Soviet Union to the collapse of the country.
