Moscow, Russian Federation (AHN) – Two people perished and more than 80 passengers were injured when a plane made a rough emergency landing and rolled off the runway at a Moscow airport. Prior to crashing at Domodedovo airport on Saturday the plane lost three of its engines.

Dagestan Airlines flight 372 had taken off from Moscow’s Vnukovo airport 30 minutes before it tried to make the emergency landing.

Investigators say that in addition to engine failure the jets power sources and navigation equipment failed.

According to the transport Prosecutor’s Office, the Russian-built TU-154 jet was carrying 163 passengers, including seven children and nine crew members among the others.

“According to the latest information, 83 people were sent to hospitals after the Tu-154 plane accident,” a spokesperson for the Health Ministry said.

The aircraft which was headed for Russia’s North Caucasus city of Makhachkala was of the same model which crashed April in Poland. That crash claimed the life of Polish president Lech Kaczynski and more than 90 of the country’s top government officials.

Single Parent Grants

Single parent grants can help make life easier for struggling parents. Now there are many grants available online, but not all of them are legit and not all of them are grants you can actually qualify for.

So how can you find a grant for single parents? The most important thing is to identify exactly what you are looking for in a grant. Do you want a grant to help you pay for your university education? Are you looking for a grant to buy a car? Or maybe you need a grant to help with the high costs of fuel. Do you need a grant to start a business as a single parent? Or maybe you need a grant to buy office supplies. There are countless grants out there.

Getting a grant is literally an online hunt. You will have to search far and wide to get the best grants. Never forget that for every grant out there, there are hundreds of other people probably applying for that same grant. The competition for grant money is fierce these days – to get a grant, you will really have to go the extra mile. Many people who apply for grants will only apply for a handful of grants. But if you really want a grant, you need to apply for dozens – even hundreds. It sounds like a lot of work – and it is. However, grants can allow you to go to college, to start a business, to accomplish your dreams. So the effort you put into finding and applying for single parent grants is well worth it.
