Aeroflot Flight 821 - 88 dead

At 05:10 local time, Aeroflot Flight 821 crashed on descent at Perm in the Urals, having taken off two hours earlier from Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow. All on board perished, including decorated war hero Gennady Troshev and 22 non-Russian nationals.

This weekend past (September 13th, 14th) was characterised by a celestial pattern inimical to aviation in general. If ever conditions were ripe for an aircraft accident, this was it.

However, thousands of flights took place around the the world on these two days. All bar the Aeroflot 737-500 proceeded without incident. Why? If forces that bring about aviation disasters are in play, why does only one single aircraft crash?

Actually, it was not one. A light aircraft crashed in Hunter Valley, Australia, on Sunday morning killing 3 on board.

Two out of possibly thousands flights ended in disaster this weekend. Astrologically, the key differentiating factor between success and failure is connected to the MOMENT OF TAKEOFF.

The moment Aeroflot Fl 821's wheels left the runway in the early hours of the 14th in Moscow, its fate was sealed. It was this moment that set up a perfect fit with the aviation death zone blanketing the earth. A five to ten minute delay either way ... and Fl 821 would have landed in Perm without incident. Instead 88 people are dead.

The celestial pattern responsible for the Fl 821 crash is highly correlated with pilot error. Initial reports from air traffic control in Perm state that the pilot seemed to be behaving oddly, speaking in a strained manner and disobeying instructions. Time will tell, once the black boxes (both recovered) have been analysed. The conventional wisdom, however, is pointing towards engine failure, as the Boeing was on fire prior to the crash.

The time of take off from international airports is a haphazard affair. It is a combination of scheduled departure time, pilot readiness and the status of air traffic arriving and departing.

No one coordinates these times with an eye on Azrael's antics. Even if you, as a passenger, were aware of a potential activation of an aviation death zone, you would be powerless to act. Pilots and air traffic controllers do not take instructions and guidance from mere passengers.

There is a huge gap in aviation safety that can be filled here. Incidents such as the Aeroflot crash and the Spanair disaster some weeks ago are completely unnecessary.

Other aviation death zones with similar attributes to the one that brought down Aeroflot Fl 821 will be coming up on the following dates: December 9-11 2008, March 11-13 2009, June 16-18 2009, September 16-18 2009.

The next time you see someone making a scene on an aircraft, hysterically begging the pilot not to take off just yet, it is probably an Osrail contact. No one else could be bothered.
