Makhachkala is a city in Dagestan that has been the site of several notable incidents, including a passenger train collision with a KamAZ truck and an S7 Airlines flight mistakenly landing on a construction runway. The city's airport has implemented biometric recognition technology using iris scanning and has also seen emergency landings due to technical issues, such as a false alarm from a pressurization sensor on a Pobeda Boeing 737. In July 2024, a fire in a quest room resulted in the deaths of two women, leading to criminal convictions for the owner and two animators over unsafe services.
