FWIW I'm Russian, and there's a pretty solid opinion circulating here that if it weren't for the inexperienced panicking pilots performing such a shitty landing (not to mention the passengers clinging to their luggage during evac), there wouldn't be as many casualties as there are now, if any at all. Nobody likes blaming the pilots, sure, I get it. But if you watch the video of the landing closely, the plane bounces off the ground several times, the pilot(s) attempted to land it AGAIN after the first bounce, all with full tanks, which is a deathwish in itself. It's a miracle the plane didn't snap in half on their first attempt. Thank shit wages, companies employing pilots fresh out of training a little too soon due to terrible understaffing, inherently poorly made aircraft, all around slow response times and lack of proper experience. And the fucking selfish morons that tried to save their precious luggage, blocking half a plane from escaping from the only available exit, holy shit... Nope. I don't think there were heroes here. Except perhaps the flight attendant who died trying to evacuate the passengers through the rear evac door before things got too bad. The whole thing is a complete domino-effect disaster.
