“Corncob”, though light, crashing into a house at speeds over 150 km/h, punched a two-meter hole between 3rd and 4th floors in the stairwell area, its front end with screw and motor flew into one of the apartments, the wreckage of the fuselage and tail pile collapsed outside the entrance.

When you hit “kamikaze” was killed, his body dumped on the stairs, right under the apartment doors. There also spilled jet fuel, road engulfed in flames. Tenants in horror jumping out of Windows, dropping children at the bottom caught came to the aid of neighbors. I managed to escape not all: the fire killed four young woman and boys 4 to 6 years, two of them didn’t even live there, and stayed with friends.

Victims could be more, if the plane rammed the apartments themselves, but it shied away from the poplar near the house, and eventually crashed into a porch. As it turned out, the young suicide bomber was aiming at the apartment on the 3rd floor, where lived the parents of his wife and where she left him taking their 2-year-old son. According to the calculations Serkova, all four were peacefully eating Breakfast in the kitchen when they come down “retribution”. But in this day and hour one of them was not at home. I suspect that the test pilots (or all adults) knew about the action of revenge and taken care of his own salvation, but did nothing to protect others. But immediately after the incident, the father rushed to save his property told us that he ran about the yard in shorts. Later, fearing reprisals and hiding from the prying, the surviving family bounced around to a dozen addresses, so that their trail was lost.

Khrushchev quickly get rid of the traces of the collision and fire, and the incident was classified. About it was not mentioned anywhere officially, but instead the city crept sinister rumors – whether this is unprecedented in the USSR the terrorists, or the terrible “political” action. In the end, this story would have turned into a bike, and witnesses would be considered “crazy”, if not disclosed in the beginning the KGB archives.

At the end of the match between Moscow Spartak and Dutch “Haarlem” in the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Cup at the Central stadium named after Lenin broke out the most terrible tragedy in the history of Soviet sports, but the players who were on the field, did not even know about it.

That October day was unseasonably strong cold, minus 10, the tribune has brought wet snow, the benches are freezing.
Due to the bad weather on such a significant match was sold out only a fifth of tickets, so that spectators had cleared and opened the tribune only 2 of the 4 places they have enough for the eyes. However, again, due to the cold, the fans basically took the rostrum, which was closer to the subway.

In this photo, 1982 see the Central platform (A), the farthest from metro, where he was a minority of fans. Most occupied the southern side (C) opposite. The KGB, the Soviet Union, the tragedy

Spartak took the lead early 1:0, but then the game went vraskachku. Two minutes before the final, thinking that points will no longer be shivering crowd pushed towards the exit. Eyewitnesses claim that feuded with the young fans, police opened only one way out of four to control the crowd, not bothering much with this. At some point in the last steps of the stairs the girl fell, the front stopped to help her, but the people in the back pressed forward by a powerful stream. Standing down was torn down and trampled, began a chain reaction, people stumble over obstacles, fell and crushed each other, a mountain of bodies grew. Under the pressure of the crowd the metal stair railing was curved, people fell down on the concrete floor.
By coincidence, the stampede began at the moment when literally in the last seconds Sergei Shvetsov scored the Dutch second goal. Man of the match for many years regretted hammered the ball, believing that he became an unwitting culprit of the tragedy. Due to the lack of information was popular about version, if that is the goal provoked human mush when leaving the stadium, the audience moved sharply back into the stands and clashed with counter flow.

In a stampede that killed 66 Spartak fans, mostly teenagers from 14 to 19 years. The corpses were stacked in piles near the monument to Lenin. Newspapers reported on the progress of the match, but not mention of the tragedy only in the “Evening Moscow”, on the last page, in a couple of lines said about “accident” at the stadium, in which “victims”. Information concealed from the parents of the dead teenagers, who were looking for them in hospitals and morgues and say that they are not allowed on the lineup.

For the first time about the stampede, told in the press only with the advent of Gorbachev’s “glasnost”, but by the time the truth is completely overshadowed by rumors and speculation. Eyewitnesses of those events, and relatives of victims remain convinced that the dead were far more, perhaps hundreds. The same “data” still operate and many of the Western media.

The escalator to the “Aviamotornaya” in our days. The tragedy happened on the fourth or on the photo at right, disabled.

The worst accident in the history of the Moscow metro occurred on Aviamotornaya in the evening rush hour when people started returning from work. One of the escalators on the descent jumped right handrail (apparently due to defects in design). At a time when the handrail stopped, the stairs, accelerating under the weight of the passengers, rushed down. Emergency locking mechanism, turned off the engine but neither working nor emergency brake did not work properly due to improper configuration and maintenance.

Some of the passengers panicked and rushed up the steps, against the movement of the escalator, bumping into those who tried standing up to stay on his feet. People falling, flying down, which formed the blockage. Hearing the cries at the bottom, at the top of the terror jump on the balustrade, trying to move to the next escalator, but the plastic coating with a thickness of only 3 mm broke under their weight, they fell under the balustrade. However, despite the creepy rumors, nobody had been sucked into the mechanisms, do not cut off limbs – people died and were injured due to stampede, a fall from a height and contact with sharp edges of the broken and broken structures.

However, under a metal comb “enraged” escalator tightened shoes, clothes, bags. Steps cracked and broke, “was reared”. People were getting cuts, open fractures – hence the “puddles of blood” which, according to the horror stories, so ingrained in the floors that my grandmother’s cleaning lady couldn’t erase, no matter how he tried. It lasted almost 2 minutes until finally the mechanisms of the escalator is not drowned out by manually in the engine room. In the crush, 8 people died, 30 were injured, some were disabled. One of the victims, whose leg got caught between the output pad and the stage, another 2 hours waiting until there are tools in order to release, and for such a long delay lost his leg.

A short message like sneak printed the next day all the same “Vecherka”, not even under “Incident”, but just faceless Information.

Since the tragedy was reported in the media, she quickly acquired mythical details and has become an urban legend. People recounted the terrible details of the “bloody slaughter”, which in fact was not, as some media later wrote about “dozens” and even “hundreds” of victims. Fortunately, even in the rush hours in the Moscow metro then it was not so crowded as it is today.

The death of cosmonaut Bondarenko. March 23, 1961. Concealed 25 years.

Тайны, которые тщательно скрывали в СССР. Фото

24-year-old Valentin Bondarenko was one of the candidates for the first in mankind history space flight. In the detachment of Soviet cosmonauts who were trained to fly around Earth on the Vostok spacecraft, he was the youngest and at the end of training stood fourth in the list after Yuri Gagarin.

But 3 weeks before start of historical Bondarenko was tragically killed during testing in surdobarokamere. It happened on the 10th day of the 15 that he had to spend alone in a tightly closed chamber with low pressure and high oxygen levels. In the isolation chamber of the astronauts were trained to stay in space, checking out the reaction, the psychological and physical health. There they ate, rested, and had found something to distract from the longing for communication.

After one of the medical tests Bondarenko rubbed the place of anchoring of biosensors on the body alcohol pad and accidentally dropped it. Wool caught on a hot spirally tile where warming up the tea, instantly broke out. The guy tried to put out the fire sleeve, but in an oxygen atmosphere woolen cloth caught fire and the flames quickly spread for the camera. Due to the large differential pressure, the door could open only half an hour. With burns of 80% of the body of Valentine was taken to the hospital, where doctors 8 hours fighting for his life. According to them, Gagarin was all the time at the bedside of a friend and colleague until he died from burn shock.

In the era of the space race, especially on the eve of the great breakthrough, the Soviet Union kept in the strictest confidence everything that had to do with the cosmos. The death of Bondarenko’s not just hidden – it got deleted from group shots of the first group. However, his “disappearance” did not go unnoticed and gave rise to wild rumours, by the way, still popular in the West, like before Gagarin Soviet daredevils almost “packs” were sent into space, but they died during launch or in orbit. The Soviet official seal acknowledged the death of the only astronaut in 1986. At the grave Bondarenko Kharkov until then was written: “in loving memory from friends-pilots”. And then added a PostScript: “cosmonauts of the USSR”.
