Nachdem der A321 von Ural Air mit der Registrierung VQ-BOB als U6-91 in St. Petersburg gelandet war, war alles normal. Die Treppen wurden heran gerollt und die Passagiere stiegen aus. Anscheinend hat es bei den ersten 90 auch problemlos funktioniert, bis eine Mutter mit ihrem Baby aussteigen wollte.
Dann gab es ein Problem mit den Treppen, diese brach zusammen/ brach ab und Mutter und Kind stützten in die Tiefe. Das Baby war wohl schwerverletzt, die Mutter hat ebenfalls schlimme Verletzungen wie gebrochene Beine.
Nachdem beide ins Krankenhaus kam, starb das Baby leider später an den Verletzungen.
