Russia.  Irkutsk.  Su-30 crash.  Media: Nitrogen can be blamed

Russian media reported that the pilots of the Su-30 fighter, which struck a house in Irkutsk on Sunday, may have passed out during the flight. According to unconfirmed information, there may be nitrogen residues in the pilots’ oxygen device.

Su-30 pilots lost consciousness during the flight – the independent portal Meduza reported on Telegram, citing state media, which, in turn, cited sources in the emergency services. Loss of consciousness could be caused by nitrogen remaining in the pilots’ oxygen system.

According to Medusa, the Russian Investigative Committee had previously announced that two versions of the causes of the accident were being investigated: technical errors and pilot error.
