Prosecutor announced one of the versions of the plane crash in Plovdiv  - 1

Incorrectly given commands from the command center is one of the versions that the military district prosecutor's office is working on in Plovdiv.

"Is it pilot error - human, or technical, or incorrectly set commands from the command center. If there is a mistake in the command, they are unlikely to fully cooperate with us. That is, if there is such a moment, we will have to find out the hard way. So the exact cause of the accident will not be known so quickly, Hristo Anchev, military district prosecutor in Plovdiv, commented to bTV.

Multiple examinations have been appointed, witnesses are already being interviewed, as well as the ground staff who prepared and managed the flight. The documents of the crashed plane have been requested from Dolna Mitropolia.

„The black box has been found and according to the experts who understand, it is generally relatively preserved and will be read”, Hristo Anchev points out.

Although the airshow was cancelled, people from the country and abroad have been arriving in front of the airbase since morning.

„We heard about the tragedy, everything was cancelled, but we had already paid for the tickets. We came here hoping they would let us enter the base and see some of the planes,” says Frank Nord, Netherlands.

The videos taken during the fatal flight have also been seized, they will help clarify the cause of the accident, say the prosecutor's office.
