Yerevan-Moscow plane hardly avoids clash

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. “Boeing” passenger plane of the "Transaero" company, which was carrying out Yerevan-Moscow flight, while flying over the capital of the Russian Federation could hardly avoid a clash with the airplane arriving from Arkhangelsk. Armenpress informs citing Lifenews, that in order to avoid disaster, the pilots passed the airplane over the capital of the Russian Federation which is prohibited. The incident took place on November 6.

The airplane flying from Yerevan under unknown circumstances changed its direction and appeared on another “Boeing” way. The two planes were both at an altitude of 600 meters. The planes approached each other every one minute, until the distance between them became 2, 5 km.
