Passengers Of Moscow – Barnaul Flight Got Off Lightly
The passengers of the aircraft which made an emergency landing
in Novosibirsk continued the flight on a reserve aircraft of the
Sibir air company. A representative of Tolmachevo airport said
that the airplane left Tolmachevo airport of the largest city of
the country’s Asian part for Barnaul, the administrative centre
of the Altai Territory in the south of Western Siberia, at 6.00
a.m. Moscow time.
A Tu-154 aircraft of the Sibir air company made an emergency
landing at 3.35 a.m. Moscow time because of a malfunction of an
engine. The aircraft which was making a flight from Moscow to
Barnaul was carrying 103 passengers and 10 crewmen.
The representative of Tolmachevo airport explained that “an hour
after the departure from Domodedovo airport of Moscow a sensor
showed that a metal chip had got into one of the engine’s oil.”
“The crew decided to switch off the faulty engine and to
continue flying on two other engines. The crew decided to head
for Novosibirsk to make an emergency landing because the landing
strip at Tolmachevo airport of Novosibirsk is 740 metres longer
than in Barnaul,” the airport personnel explained.
The aircraft landed safely, no one was hurt.
The aircraft with a faulty engine will remain at Tolmachevo
airport until the causes of the malfunction are found out.

Perhaps with the coverage Sibir has been getting of late contributed to the beat up.
Sibir has just been recognised in the “Aviation Transport World” market leadership category along with other press in praise of the operation.
Tall poppy syndrome?

Hard to imagine how that made the news given the amount of times it happens day to day across the world.
It is not hard to see how this made the news… western companies are trying to enter and compete in a new market… it is much easier if you can discredit that market first before you try to take it over.
No, of course, I am being paranoid. The west only uses its power for good… hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Truth and facts usually make BORING stories, hence the fiction that we read and hear in our media.

A good rule that is good for both cold war politics and aviation journalism –
“Never let the truth or facts get in the way of a good story.”

Yeah but the first word that comes in to your head when you say Air crash is some sort of Russian design aircraft

Not really, this sort of thing happens regularly everywhere as Hamtech says.
BORING

If you didn’t know what a “chip light” is then that actually sounds bad.
For info:
Plug screwed into a sump or gearbox.
Two magnets on the plug form two poles, submerged in the oil.
(Simple version here) the poles are wired to a light in the cockpit or somewhere that can be checked after a flight.
If under the normal wear and tear of engine operations, a ferrous (magnetic) part of the engine may break away, held in suspension in the oil, picked up buy the magnets on the chip plug.
If the worn particles either build up enough or are big enough to fall across the two magnets, the circuit is closed, turning on the “chip light”.
Aircraft lands, plug removed, decision made on IF it is a problem or not.
Hard to imagine how that made the news given the amount of times it happens day to day across the world.
