jagknife Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yes, entire team has died Vasyunov among the killed. They have not confirmed who was on the plane and who wasn't. From what Dmitry Chesnokov is speculating, the entire team might not been traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously anything can happen in a crash, but it looks like it may have went down on its side... Apparently from some articles I have been reading, it caught fire shortly after takeoff and then crashed not far from the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormJosh Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm not sure what I'm seeing on TV. I see video of lots of rescue personnel speeding to the hospital. I hope it means that there is more than 1 crew member who survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure its a well known fact these days, but still if anyone ever mentions about travelling to Russia i always bring it up. I have a friend who is a comercial airline pilot and she has told me a few stories. This is so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
