A water carrier collided with the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A-380, at Domodedovo Airport. This report comes via the Telegram channel 112, which links to accompanying materials from the source. The incident drew immediate attention as officials began to assess the damage and potential delays to flight schedules.
According to the account shared by the channel, the Moscow-Dubai service was slated for departure. The crew had completed the preflight safety checks and the aircraft was about to receive its final preparations when the water truck driver misjudged the accelerator. Instead of aligning neatly with the designated bay, the vehicle surged across the apron and struck the airplane’s side, with the impact described in the report as if an everyday can opener had met a steel surface. The description underscores the severity of the collision and the shudder it sent through the ground equipment and nearby personnel.
Airport operations were disrupted as the A-380’s departure was postponed indefinitely while investigators evaluated the extent of the damage and any potential hazards. The water truck driver was transported to a hospital for evaluation after the shock of the incident, though authorities reported that no one on board the aircraft sustained injuries. The event prompted a temporary halt to related ground operations as teams conducted a thorough check of the aircraft’s fuselage, wing roots, and landing gear systems for signs of compromise.
Across the country, other transport incidents continued to draw attention. On March 27, in Kursk, near the central market, a bus reportedly collided with several vehicles before crashing into another bus. The blast from a gas cylinder within one of the involved vehicles caused an explosion, leading to multiple injuries. Early information from the Kursk region emergency ministry suggested that brake failure may have contributed to the accident, while authorities confirmed that several cars, including a UAZ and a Lada Largus, had sustained fire damage in the wake of the collision. The incident underscores the ongoing importance of rigorous maintenance protocols and rapid emergency response in busy urban settings.
In a different development, footage circulated online showing Nikita Kologrivy reportedly evading capture by sheltering in a vividly colored Toyota following a detention operation. The video raised questions about surveillance practices and the timeline of the event, prompting discussions about law enforcement procedures and media coverage. Each of these events illustrates how quickly urban environments can yield complex, multi-incident scenes that challenge response services and strain public communication channels. The authorities continue to release updates as investigations proceed and as more details become available for the public record. (Source: Telegram channel 112)
