In Pictures: The Lucky Tupolev 154M, RA-85684. (Russia)

It was an unbelievable luck that on September 7th, 2010, the crew of the plane carrying 72 passengers on board, managed to make an emergency landing on an abandoned runway near Izhma Village. Since then, the lucky Tu-154 has been called ‘a miracle of Izhma’. The company ‘ALROSA’, the second largest diamond-mining company in the world, which owns the plane, did not leave it in taiga but spent over 20 million rubles (65o thousand dollars) to restore it and make ‘the lucky aircraft’ fly again.
