Long-term trials have not yielded results: the dispatcher, the fault of which the tragedy occurred, refused to take responsibility. The families of the victims didn’t apologize or sympathy. At that time, the situation decided to investigate Vitaly Kaloyev, an architect from Russia, who lost in the crash of the whole family. His wife and two children flew fatal flight “the Bashkir airlines” to visit him in Spain.

The researcher came to the house of Peter Nielsen, after which inflicted 12 stab wounds. Manager could not be saved, and the inconsolable father went to prison. Two years later he was released for good behavior.

Vitaly Kaloyev immediately after his release, he returned to North Ossetia. Kseniya Kaspari, who wrote the book “the Clash”, dedicated to the tragic story, explained why the inconsolable father has committed a crime.

In 2017 came the film “Consequences”, based on the tragic story of Vitaly Kaloeva. The main role in the film played Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hollywood actor is so imbued with the plot based on real events that agreed to participate in the filming for a minimal fee.

Valery Postnikov, who served as Executive Director of the society of independent investigators of aviation accidents, said that the disaster could have been prevented. “In this situation, blame the traffic controllers and our pilots. This combination of shortcomings, mistakes, miscommunication in the work of the managers and crew. But of course, that the terminal there was one operator that was disabled the whole system, is totally unacceptable,” concluded Postnikov in his comments to RT.
