    Russian Airliner Crashes

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14465000/

    Sounds like all are dead. :(

    From CNN:

    Interfax said the Tupolev TU-154 aircraft had about 170 people on board when it crashed shortly after 3:30 p.m. Moscow time (1130 GMT).

    Flight 612 was en route from the Black Sea resort town of Anapa to St. Petersburg.

    They are quick to say this was not terrorism and blame it on weather, but the details they've released make it seem like foul play is a good possibility.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Well fire aboard a plane without a bomb or some kind of foul play is certainly a plausible reason for the crash. Just about anything could have started a fire and in a oxygen rich cabin fire can spread very quickly.

    wow, and we were just talking about those great russian aircraft the other day.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
