From the beginning From the end
Do not update Update
This concludes Gazeta.Ru online about the tragic events in Indonesia. We will continue to monitor the progress of the investigation into the causes of the crash and will promptly inform you of any news. Take care of yourself.
Shukro Yusof, spokesman for Malaysian aviation consultancy Endau Analytics, said Monday's plane crash is yet another indication of the deplorable state of aviation security in Indonesia. He told the South China Morning Post that Indonesian aviation "needs serious help from aviation specialists and experts." “It seems that the country cannot solve its problems on its own,” he added.
The previous major plane crash occurred in Indonesia in December 2014, when an AirAsia low-cost airline crashed there, en route from the city of Surabaya to Singapore. The plane crash killed 162 people.
Former military pilot Alexei Vlasov believes that when determining the causes of this crash, first of all, two versions will be considered: pilot error, the second and equipment failure. “The second one may be related to blockage of the PPD system (full pressure receivers - Gazeta.Ru”), the expert explained to Gazeta.Ru. “The situation is very similar to the An-148 disaster at Domodedovo, when the crew did not turn on the PPD heating: the speed indicator began to show its fall, and the aircraft began to accelerate into a dive until they entered the ground.” Alexei Vlasov also suggests that a fire could have started on board, as a result of which smoke in the cabin made it impossible to make an emergency landing on the water. “As soon as the black boxes are found, a lot will become clear,” the expert summed up. “You also need to look at the spread of debris: they can determine how the plane fell and make some assumptions.”
The British edition of the Daily Mail told about one of the government officials who was supposed to fly flight JT-610 with colleagues, but was late to the airport due to traffic jams in the capital. Soni Setyavan, an employee of the Ministry of Finance, flew to Pankalpinang on another flight. At the airport, he was immediately surrounded by journalists.
There were two foreigners on board the crashed Indonesian plane. In addition to pilot Bhavye Suneyi, an Indian citizen, an Italian citizen, whose name has not been released, was flying on flight JT-610.
The families of the victims of the Boeing 737 crash will be paid compensation in the amount of more than $3,000, the Jakarta Post writes, citing the state insurance company Jasa Raharja.
Meanwhile, Lion Air has suspended negotiations to acquire Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. They are frozen until the final report of investigators who are studying the circumstances of the crash.
“The liner had technical malfunctions during the previous flight, although it was produced only two months ago. We are suspending negotiations with Boeing on an order to purchase ten 737s from the Max program," the carrier said in a statement.
In the past six years alone, eight major air crashes have occurred in Indonesia, killing about 600 people. “Indonesia in terms of flight safety and training of flight personnel can be compared with African countries. I worked both there and in Indonesia and I know well what level of technical and flight training is there, ”Viktor Sazhenin, Honored Pilot of Russia, told 360.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, since 2011, Lion Air pilots have been repeatedly accused of using drugs. So, in December 2017, the police detained one of them in a hotel, where illegal drugs were found on the pilot. Subsequent tests showed that he had taken drugs the day before the scheduled flight.
“The current tragedy cancels out all the achievements in terms of flight safety that Lion Air may have had recently,” the newspaper writes.
Since 2002, Lion Air, whose plane crashed in Indonesia, has had more than ten accidents. Until today, the tragedy of 2004 was considered the largest. Then the airliner skidded off the runway and crashed into a cemetery located near the airport. As a result, 31 people died.
In 2013, a Lion Air plane carrying over a hundred passengers crashed into the water near Bali Airport. The hull of the liner broke into two parts. As a result, 46 people were injured. It was later revealed that the incident was due to pilot error.
Boeing 737 captain Bhavye Suneya, who is an Indian citizen, had more than 6,000 hours of flight experience and co-pilot more than 5,000 hours, according to Lion Air.
Rescuers do not plan to raise the Boeing 737 to the surface. According to the deputy head of the national rescue agency, Surio Aji, the plane is at a depth of 30-35 meters. Now divers are working there.
“The priority remains the evacuation of the victims of the crash, as well as the search for flight recorders. At the moment, the issue of raising the aircraft to the surface is not being considered, ”he said.
Rescuers found a children's backpack and shoes on the surface of the water. According to preliminary data, there were three children on board the Boeing 737 Max 8.
Australian officials have been banned from flying with Lion Air after a plane crash in Indonesia. This was reported on the website of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. "The decision will be reconsidered after receiving detailed results of the investigation of the crash," the department said.
According to the agency, smartphones, several identification cards, bank books and driver's documents were also found at the crash site. Flight recorders have not yet been found.
All 189 people aboard the Boeing 737 died. This was stated by the representative of the agency for overcoming emergencies in Indonesia, writes Associated Press.
According to the latest data, rescuers managed to find six bodies of passengers who died in the crash. They were delivered to the port of Tanjung Priok, a representative of the Indonesian Emergency Management Agency told RIA Novosti.
Boeing made its first flight in January 2016. MAX received permission for commercial operation in March 2017. At the moment, more than a hundred airliners have already been produced.
In Russia, the Boeing 737 MAX was delivered for the first time for S7 Airlines — the carrier purchased 11 aircraft of this type. A little over a week ago, the company announced that the airliner would be based in Novosibirsk and operate flights to Moscow and Chita.
Another MAX operator will be UTair. In 2019, the carrier will receive 30 aircraft of this generation.
The crash of a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 was the first for this generation of aircraft. They began to be delivered to carriers quite recently.
The MAX uses 14% less fuel than the Next-Generation Boeing 737. It also reduces the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere and has a smaller noise footprint.
Indonesian authorities have not yet announced the cause of the crash. “The aircraft is so modern that it transmitted all the data, we will also study them. However, the most important thing is the black box,” said the head of the Indonesian Transport Security Committee, Soryanto Tiahyono.
According to Lion Air Group CEO Edward Sirait, Technical problems with the Boeing 737 MAX 8 were observed earlier - during the flight from Bali to Jakarta. He noted that all problems were corrected in a timely manner.
Sirait refused to name the cause of the malfunctions, noting that no similar problems were noticed in other aircraft of the airline. Lion Air operates 11 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The carrier does not plan to abandon them. The plane that crashed off the coast of Java has been flying since August, the CEO stressed.

The plane almost immediately requested an emergency landing, so most likely there was an emergency on board, said Major General Vladimir Popov, Honored Military Pilot of Russia.
“Or aviation equipment failures developed, and it was clear that it was almost impossible to continue the flight. In Indonesia, perhaps, the meteorological conditions are very difficult, there may be rains and fogs. All this could somehow affect flight safety, ”he told Sputnik radio.
According to FlightRadar24, the first malfunctions on board the Boeing 737 were recorded two minutes after takeoff, when it reached an altitude of 610 meters. Then the airliner descended 150 meters, turned left and climbed up again - already to a height of 1.5 km, where it remained for most of the flight. Before the plane disappeared from the radar, he gained a speed of 345 knots. Communication with the liner was lost while it was at an altitude of 1.1 km.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also expressed condolences to Indonesian leader Joko Widodo. “Russia shares the grief of those who lost their loved ones in this catastrophe, and wishes them courage and perseverance in such a difficult hour,” the President’s telegram reads.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo delivered a televised address, expressing condolences to the families of those killed in the plane crash. “In the morning, I ordered an immediate investigation and rescue operation. I deeply worry about the families of the victims, but we hope that they will remain calm while search and rescue teams work at the crash site, ”he said.
The emergency response agency is interviewing the families and loved ones of the deceased airliner passengers, reporter Simon Rugnin tweeted.
At the crash site, rescuers discovered an exploding fuel tank, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the Emergency Management Agency (Basarnas). “The fuel tank was found broken and blown up, it is leaking,” the source said.
The body of the first deceased was found, RIA Novosti reports, citing the national agency for overcoming emergencies.
According to Reuters, there were 23 Indonesian government officials on board.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which Lion Air acquired in August 2018, is the base model of a new generation of Boeing 737 MAX medium-haul passenger aircraft. This is an improved model, equipped with new CFM International LEAP-1B engines, improved wing and fuselage designs. Commercial operation of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 began in May 2017.
So far, it is known that the weather at the time of the flight was favorable.
The cause of the plane crash is yet to be ascertained. The head of the Indonesian transport security committee told Reuters that it is necessary to wait for the decryption of the black box data, which has yet to be found. Investigators will comprehensively study the records of conversations in the cockpit, data from the air traffic control service, analyze the experience of the pilots (the airline claims that the first and second pilots have flown a total of 11,000 hours) and the technical condition of the aircraft.

July 8 - All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity
July 8 - Memorial Day of Saints Peter and Fevronia
July 8 events that took place in the world, in different years
July 8, according to the Orthodox calendar, is the day of Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom, whose love and marital fidelity are legendary. They were revered in Russia as patrons of married life.
Since 2008, July 8 has been declared the All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.
Peter and Fevronia are the patrons of family and marriage. Their marriage is an example of Christian marriage.
Blessed Prince Peter was the second son of Prince Yury Vladimirovich of Murom. He ascended the throne of Murom in 1203. A few years before this book. Peter fell ill with leprosy, from which no one could cure him. In a dream vision, it was revealed to the prince that Fevronia, a peasant woman of the village of Laskovaya in the Ryazan land, could heal him. Virgin Fevronia was wise, wild animals obeyed her, she knew the properties of herbs and knew how to heal ailments, she was a beautiful, pious and kind girl. The prince promised to marry her after the healing. St. Fevronia healed the prince, but he did not keep his word. The disease resumed, Fevronia cured him again and married him.
When he inherited the reign after his brother, the boyars did not want to have a princess of a simple rank, telling him: "Either let go of your wife, who offends noble ladies with her origin, or leave Murom." The prince took Fevronia, got into a boat with her and sailed along the Oka. They began to live as ordinary people, rejoicing that they were together, and God helped them.
In Murom, turmoil began, many set off to solicit the vacant throne, and murders began. Then the boyars came to their senses, gathered a council and decided to call Prince Peter back. The prince and princess returned, and Fevronia managed to earn the love of the townspeople.
In their advanced years, having taken monastic vows in different monasteries with the names David and Euphrosyne, they prayed to God that they die on the same day, and bequeathed to put their bodies in one coffin, having prepared in advance a tomb of one stone, with a thin partition. They died on the same day and hour - June 25 (according to the new style - July 8), 1228.
Considering the burial in one coffin incompatible with the monastic rank, their bodies were laid in different monasteries, but the next day they were together. Buried were St. the spouses in the cathedral church of the city of Murom in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, erected over their relics by vow by Ivan the Terrible in 1553, now openly rest in the church of the Holy Trinity of the Holy Trinity Monastery in Murom.
In the Orthodox calendar on July 8 there is a holiday that should be celebrated as a state holiday - this is the day of memory of Saints Peter and Fevronia. They are the patron saints of family and marriage. And nothing strengthens the state like a strong friendly family. The marriage of Peter and Fevronia showed what marriage should be and many Orthodox, and not only Orthodox people, will rest them and follow their path. If we plunge into the history of the formation of this holiday, then we will find out that Peter was the second son of Prince Yury Vladimirovich of Murom and was himself a prince. He ascended the throne of Murom in 1203. But Prince Peter was ill with incurable leprosy, from which no one could cure him.
In one of his dreams, he was told that the beekeeper's daughter, Fevronia, a peasant woman from the village of Laskovaya in the Ryazan region, could cure him. Having found her, Prince Peter really recovered and married Fevronia. But the boyars did not want to have a commoner princess, and then Peter and Fevronia sat down and sailed away from Murom and began to live as ordinary people, and God helped them. Recovering from the ensuing turmoil, the boyars called on Peter to reign. The prince and princess returned. At the end of their lives, Peter and Fevronia went to monasteries - female and male, and prayed to die on the same day. And so it happened. They died on the same day and hour - July 8 (June 25, old style), 1228. More than a century has passed, and the memory of them has survived to this day.

On July 8, 1709 (June 26, old style), the general battle of the Northern War took place - the Battle of Poltava.
Russian troops under the command of Peter I defeated the army of the Swedish king Charles XII and the detachments of his ally hetman Mazepa. Before the battle, Peter addressed the troops with the following words: “Warriors! Here comes the hour that will decide the fate of the fatherland. And so you should not think that you are fighting for Peter, but for the state entrusted to Peter, for the fatherland ... You should also not be embarrassed by the glory of the enemy, as if invincible, which you yourself have repeatedly proven lies with your victories over him ... "
The battle, which began at 2 o'clock in the morning, ended by 11 o'clock in the morning with the flight of the entire Swedish army. The persecuted Swedes, pinned to the banks of the Dnieper by cavalry under the command of Alexander Menshikov, were forced to surrender. On the battlefield, they lost 9,234 people killed, and 18,794 people (including almost all the generals) were captured. The wounded Karl, together with Mazepa, fled to Turkey. The loss of the Russian army killed and wounded amounted to 4.635 people.
The Battle of Poltava is one of those battles that decide the fate of peoples. The military power of Sweden was crushed, and Russia became one of the great powers. This battle paved the way for outstanding Russian victories in the 18th century.
He was the author of a radiant, optimistic outlook, he believed in the happy fate of mankind, in the inevitability of the victory of good over evil, light over darkness. He wrote: “Love is going beyond the limits of one's self and merging with the beautiful that is contained in another person. Habitual actions become sublime through love.
He was called "Mad Shelley", "Furious Shelley". As befits a romantic poet, he lived a bright and short life, full of passions, heroic daring, suffering and delusions.
He yearned to bring happiness to all mankind and caused suffering to those close to him. He dreamed of dying on the battlefield, but drowned during prosaic fishing in the Mediterranean, exactly 185 years ago, less than a month before his thirtieth birthday.
Richard Aldington was born on July 8, 1892. According to the warehouse of talent, he was a lyric poet, according to his aspirations, he was a seeker of beauty in everyday life. Together with Ezra Pound, David Herbert Lawrence and Hilda Doolittle, he became the founder of "Imagism" - a trend in English-language poetry of the 1910s. His life and work was changed by the First World War, to which Aldington volunteered. Everything that he wrote about in the future, one way or another, was connected with front-line experiences.
Aldington's flagship novel, Death of a Hero, is a classic work of Lost Generation literature. He argued: "A book of any worth always arises directly from life, and it must be written with one's own blood."
From the very first steps in the profession, his creative life is connected with the Mosfilm film studio: while still a student at VGIK, Shakhnazarov began working as an assistant director, then became a second director, director, and later he became chairman of the board of the film studio Courier of Mosfilm. And since 1998, Karen Georgievich has been the president and general director of Mosfilm. Among the most famous directorial works of Shakhnazarov are the films “We are from Jazz”, “Winter Evening in Gagra”, “Courier”, “Regicide”, “American Daughter”, “Poisons, or the World History of Poisoning”.

On July 8, 1967, the heart of Vivien Leigh stopped beating - an English actress, winner of two Oscars for her roles as South American beauties: Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind and Blanche Dubois in the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire. The gifted actress often worked in collaboration with her husband, Laurence Olivier, who directed several of her films. Throughout her thirty-year career, Vivien has played a variety of roles, from comedy heroines by Noel Pierce Coward and Bernard Shaw to classic Shakespearean characters such as Ophelia, Cleopatra, Juliet and Lady Macbeth.
Sometimes it seemed to her that because of her extraordinary beauty, she was not taken seriously as an actress. In fact, the main obstacle to the roles was her poor health. Having been under the influence of manic depression for most of her adult life, Vivien Leigh gained a reputation as a difficult actress to work with, so her career often saw periods of decline. And in the mid-forties, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which eventually brought her to the grave on July 8, 1967.
July 8 marks the birthday of Diana Arbenina - poet, composer, rock musician, founder and soloist of the Russian rock band "Night Snipers".

The group "Night Snipers" was born in August 1993. Initially, it was an acoustic duo of Diana Arbenina and Svetlana Surganova, but since the end of 1988, "snipers" have become a full-fledged electric project. After the departure of Svetlana Surganova in 2002, Diana Arbenina is the only soloist of the group. She is the leader of the group and the author of most of the songs. The Night Snipers have released several albums, the last one, Bonnie and Clyde, was released in April this year. By the way, such well-known songs from the band's repertoire as "Frontier", "I painted the sky", "Tosca", "Only noise on the river" and some others, were written by Diana back in the early 90s, before the formation of "Night Snipers" .
July 8 is the birthday of the Russian pop singer, film actress and fashion model Zhanna Friske (nee Zhanna Kopylova).
Zhanna was born in Moscow. Since childhood she was engaged in ballet, sports dancing, acrobatics, rhythmic gymnastics. She studied at the choreography department of the Moscow Institute of Culture, then at the correspondence department of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, but she never graduated from any of the universities. She worked as a sales manager in a company that traded office furniture. And in 1996, she began her creative career as a soloist in the popular musical group "Brilliant". In 2003, Zhanna Friske took part in the reality show "The Last Hero-4", in which she reached the final, and immediately after returning from the island where the filming took place, she announced her departure from the group and the beginning of a solo career. In 2005, Zhanna again participated in The Last Hero, this time in the fifth part of it. In October of the same year, the debut solo album of the singer called "Jeanne" was released.
Frankincense and Lalekh lived fused at the sides of their heads (so they could only see each other in a mirror), had two brains, but one common artery that fed them. The sisters sought separation in order to lead a normal life. After graduating from university, Ladan dreamed of becoming a lawyer, and Laleh - a journalist. The twins decided on the operation, although they understood that there were not very many chances for success - the fact is that there has never been anything like this in the history of world medicine.
German doctors in 1996, after a survey conducted in Germany, refused to perform an operation of such a degree of complexity. The choice of location for the operation, dubbed Hope, fell on Singapore after its doctors successfully separated 11-month-old twins from Nepal, Ganga and Jamuna, a year ago. For several days, the best doctors in Singapore tried to separate the sisters. A group of 25 doctors, including six foreign neurosurgeons, worked on this most difficult task.
The brain tissue of the "Siamese twins" strongly adhered to each other, and neurosurgeons had to separate the brain tissue "millimeter by millimeter". In addition, uneven blood circulation between the twins was found. Despite their best efforts, Singaporean neurosurgeons failed to fulfill the dream of Laleh and Ladan Bizhani, who were looking forward to independence from each other.
