Incidents
В 1942 году один из самолетов, который вылетел из Dushanbe airport, made a forced landing. On board was a pilot, as well as six passengers. All survived, although only the fuselage remained from the ship. Having stayed on site for less than two weeks, the pilot and three men went in search of housing. One of the passengers in the process fell into a canyon and died. In the plane remained a woman with two children. Having found refuge, none of the men remembered them. When the wreckage of the aircraft was discovered, what happened a few months later, only a woman was found alive - the children died of starvation. A criminal case was opened, and all men (including the pilot) were sentenced to various penalties.
In 1993, the plane en route to the airportDushanbe, crashed during takeoff. At that time there was a war on the territory of Tajikistan. Militants under pressure on the crew put 81 people into the vessel, although the aircraft was designed only for 28. Due to overload, the vehicle did not take off, but continued to go. At high speed, the plane went beyond the band, collided with the parapet of the aryk, then with a boulder. After 60 meters, the ship hit a concrete bollard and fell into the river. Killed the entire crew and 77 passengers.
These incidents occurred before the onset of the XIX century.All the disasters, except for the two described, happened because of the negligence of the crew. Now Dushanbe airport inspires confidence, since no such situations happen.
