Repeated tries at landings in the fog. Yeah, I guess Russia doesn’t have ILS approaches at their big airports. This stinks big time.
Check Google Earth!. It isn’t a “big Russian Airport” at all. Single runway and only small planes located on ramps and parking areas.
Yeah, and did anyone notice that they were going to the Katyn forest; where Polish soldiers were KILLED and buried by the Soviet leaders? If ever there was such thing as a ‘haunted forest’, Katyn forest would surely be one! sshhuuudddeeerrr
Despite its new found oil wealth the USSR is still a Third World country in *every* sense of the word.It should be no more surprising that this could happen *there* than it would be for it to have happened in Burkina Faso.
