- There's no more time. I can't go back.

- Excuse me...

If you don't take off in five minutes,

nothing will be left of the runway.

Everyone, On the plane.!

[ Leonid prays silently with a status ]The

plane was refueled. If you are alive...

If they are alive...

Gushchin will definitely take off.

You are strong willed.

Get on the plane.

- Please, get on the plane.

- Yes, Yes...

I will Immediately...

Lower the flaps!

Here we go.

Calm down, woman!

The mine is scarier.

We're accelerating for takeoff...

Leonid Zinchenko, the runway is short.

Pulling up!

- Gushchin! Gushchin, there's no one here!

- What are you talking about? And who will fly?

- Look, there's no runway.

- We'll all burn up!

- Who's in charge here?

- You are the commander!

- You are the commander!

- Don't panic! Let's take a vote...

- I ask you all, do we fly?

We're taking off on the other runway, at the

end of the field. Everyone on the plane. Fast!

Prepare to move ladders away.

- Let me help.

- Stay organized, one by one.

- Be seated! - Where's mom? You said on the plane!

- In the second plane.

Sit down, please sit down ...!

Everybody buckle up.

Get a seat belt.

- Why are we stopping, Commander? Why have we not taken off?

- The fuel is still burning.

- What are we gonna do?

- Do you see the tower? - Yes.

It's full of water.

The base will fail at any moment.

The tower will tip over...

Then we'll have a few seconds to fly.

- And if it does not tip over?

- That it! We'll talk again after landing ..

Go to the salon, you're needed there!

Look! We're on fire! We're on fire!

Sit down, sit down.

It's not a big deal.

Calm down, Valera!, everything is fine. Sit down next to

me, it is difficult flying without a partner. Be brave!

- Fire in the left engine. - It's okay. Calm the passengers!

- How? - Gently! Be the man!

Yeah!

The plane took-off in extreme conditions. They flew

through volcanic ash. That's why the engine caught fire.

- When will they be clear of the ash? - I don't know.

- The fire could spread. - Is there an airstrip close by?

What runway, there is the ocean!

117, how's your fire system?

Turned on and the fire is extinguished, the engine

fell out of the nacelle. We're flying with only one.

Fire in the number two engine. I'm reducing

the rpms. I will try to put out the fire.

Guys, put the lid on it.

- Igor Nikolayevich... - Who's piloting?

- Trainee Zinenka. He joined us recently.

I'm not going to turn on the fire-extinguishing systems

in the right engine because the engine will stop!

Come on, come on...

I'm out of the ash.

The fire is out.

Valera!

Go to the salon, see

what is happening there.

What will you be serving for dinner?

I guess we're passengers...

Strong vibrations in the right engine. It's full

of ash. I also have a landing gear problem.

- Prepare the nearest airport. The closest!

- We're preparing Petropavlovsk.

They can't fly any farther.

- It has a difficult runway, uneven.

- Prepare Petropavlovsk! It's their only chance.

New information!

Switch to channel two.

- The tank was damaged on takeoff. We're

losing fuel. We won't have enough to make...

- I repeat, the tank... - Leonid Zinchenko.

- Leonid Zinchenko. - The Trainee?

- Trainee Gushchin... Gushchin, you're alive?

- Yes. How are you? Are you okay?

- How is Alexandra?

- Everything is fine. Where is Valera?

Put on your headphones!

Headphones... There.

Valera, can you hear me?

Are you hearing me?

- I'll never forgive you!

- Valera...

Valera!

- Can you hear me?

- Leonid Zinchenko, I'm on the comm.

I understand, trainee

They are alive.

What is wrong with you? are you a 5 year old? They must have

waited until the very last moment. You shouldn't even be here!

- What's going on with you?

- We're losing fuel.

Here's the plan:
A water landing.

Send ships to pick up those who survive.

They have no choice.

You can send the entire fleet, but to land

on water in a cargo plane with passengers...

In these conditions it is madness!

Lonja, how much fuel do you have?

- 20 minutes, tops.

- Maybe you'll be able to land. - Over.

- It's a miracle that you're still flying.

- What are the instructions for this situation?

What can there be?

Gushchin... I was watching on TV...

Acrobats transferred from

one plane to another...

In the air.

Leonid Zinchenko! We have an idea...

What would you say if someone I knew...

had a great idea!

Great Idea? That's what we need now.

So... come down right away to

3000 meters. Can you? - We are

Can you hold your speed 350, no higher?

- We can.

Air pressure will be near

normal, Well open the door.

We'll approach you from the rear.

You open the rear loading ramp.

We will use the cargo rope to

bring people to this plane.

- Is it possible? - Theoretically, Yes.

But in reality, no one has ever tried.

Please consult with the Ministry of Emergency Services. Who knows, they

may have other options. - We did 20 minutes ago and never heard back.

This is a civil aircraft, not a circus. there are many lives

on it. - Do not you understand? What other options exist?

But the planes will collide!

117, you are not authorized to proceed with this. You

have a single engine and can make it to the mainland.

- I forbid this! You'll go to prison.

- I'll have to land first for that to happen.

That was done with 200 paratroopers,

we have 200 civilians.

More than 200...

Dear passengers... This is pilot Alexei

Gushchin speaking. Soon you will all be safe.

In the air is another plane. Damaged and full of people.

There is no salvation for them, if we don't help them.

We need to take a risk and transfer them to us in

mid-air. This is a decision I can not make alone.

I will require your

unanimous support for this

for them!

Why are you sitting there, crewman?

Go, tally the vote.

Rules prohibit us from taking this risk. But how

can we look each other in the eyes afterwords?

- It's easy for you to say that Tamara Igorevna.

You have never been in such a situation.

- What do you think?

- How do I answer them?

I can't... I have children.

- There they are.

- Quiet... I see.

Leonid Zinchenko,

approaching from behind.

Okay... Congratulations

and open the hatch.

Just be careful, okay? Crewman?

This means you, do you understand?

- I'm going to help them.

- To transfer to you? - Stay there!

- Your mother is on that plane, yes?

- Fasten your seat belt! - Three... Push! Push!

One more time...

Again!

It won't open.

Leonid Zinchenko, I've done everything including

blowing at that door, but it will not open. Sorry...

- Lyosha... Listen!

- Dad? Dad, is that you?

Yeah, yeah... Who else?

Listen to me carefully!

- I have an idea. - What kind of idea?

- What else could I have? Crazy!

- Raise the floor in the lounge.

- The instructions prohibit entry! All electronics systems are there and can fail if...

I wrote those instructions for normal situations.

Does this situation seem normal to you?
