Just spoke to a good friend of mine who contracts at Vnukovo. It would seem that the Tu 204 has some serious problems with its weight on wheels system. This system interacts with the thrust reversers and brake system. This is now the 4th runway excursion that the Tu 204 has has in as many months . The last three due to the WOW system...........

Its when you look at the results of a crash like that, it reminds you that aeroplanes are just made of thin aluminium cooking foil!

No such thing as front/rear bumpers, roll-over bars, and side impact bars!

Sad news...again..

Therre is something interesting in one of the reports about the overruns...
In one case they broke something in the throttle system when trying to deploy the reversers which makes me think that on older Tupolevs there was a spring loaded lockout on the reversers. If you pull hard enough it will still acrivate.

But as the Tu-204 was designed to comply with all the latest rules, they had to remove that...But it seems that some of the crew still think that they can use that 'emergency mode'

IMO, rules are rules but if years of experience indicate that it's a bad idea to completely lock an essential system by just a few switches it might be a better idea to let experience take precedence
