“ The plane extended its landing gear, but flipped after it made the hard landing,”

That’s some skill! The AN28 has a fixed gear ;-)

The media is the worst when it comes to aviation. I'm still laughing about when CNN reported that the "Boeing 777 will struggle to maintain altitude once the fuel tanks are empty".

That was a classic. I'm still trying to find a screenshot of that one somewhere online.

Oh yeah, struggling will be over if it runs out of fuel. But they are “newsies,” so there’s that.

Don't they just drop the helium masks and go blimp mode?

If you didn’t have ThE mEdIa you’d have to find something else to rage about on the internet. But the internet is a medium so I guess you’d just be screwed.

So typical! Can't say I'm surprised in the least.

These days, you cannot expect "journalists" to take the time to get facts. :-(

Glad there were no fatalities.

I'm convinced that every media outlet should hire an aviation pro to look over their releases for accuracy, especially the movie business..

The article fails to mention how long ago the crash occurred. We don’t know if they were stranded for five years or five minutes,

Yes, it's not clear on that. But it does say "two helicopters were dispatched to locate the plane, and all 19 passengers were being evacuated". So, that suggests as though they were located quite quickly after the landing.

The article refers to https://www.interfax.ru/russia/778241 from July 16 2021

Russian is not my native language (and neither is English), but approximate translation is below. Notice the 'original' report says 13 passengers, not 19

Remarks:
* The city of Kedrovy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kedrovy,_Tomsk_Oblast
* As per Google Maps distance by car is 1,200 km (by way of Novosibirsk) and it would take 16 hours. Distance by air (direct line) is 480 km

Likely built for strength not weight and money savings. Flipping a plane and everyone survives without seats flying and plane turning to shards butchering people is nice. Easy to make them laugh telling them any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

I have a mistake above. The destination is Tomsk, not Omsk. As per Google Maps the 480 km trip would take 6:30 h by car. Direct line distance is 370 km

Judging by where it says “6 days ago” under the headline I’m going to say about six days ago.
