At the airport in Nizhny Novgorod, the aircraft caught the runway during the landing.

As a result of what happened, a passenger airplane ATR-72, en route from Samara to Nizhny Novgorod, rolled out of the runway, but according to the data obtained, it was possible to do without casualties and injuries. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has already begun to investigate the aviation incident at the Nizhny Novgorod airport, and according to the first data received, a strong crosswind could be the reason for this, but a pilot error is also possible.

Passengers on board stated that the approach itself was proceeding very calmly, but at the moment the runway was touched, there was a rattle and sparks began to roll. The very same aircraft received significant damage to one of the engines and landing gear.
