71 Killed After Russian Passenger Plane Crashes Near Moscow

A plane operated by Russia’s Saratov Airlines crashed in the countryside near Moscow on Sunday, killing all 71 people on board, Russian Interfax news agency reported. 65 passengers and six crew members were onboard the plane which disappeared from radars less than 10 minutes after taking off from Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, TASS reported.

The plane - a 7 year old, short-haul regional Antonov AN-148 - was bound for the Russian city of Orsk in the Orenburg region that borders Kazakhstan, according to Reuters. The plane was first operated by Rossiya Airlines, including on international routes, and then was leased to Saratov Airlines.

Flightradar tracking  of the plane ended at 11:27AM UTC when the plane suddenly tumbled from a height of 6000 feet at an airspeed of 332 knots.

Russian state TV channel Rossiya-24 showed footage of fragments of the plane in a snow-covered field. “Debris has been found, there are no survivors,” TASS quoted a source as saying.

It was not immediately clear what caused the crash: it may have been the result of weather conditions, human error or technical failure, according to TASS citing an emergency source. The source added that there were no extreme weather conditions in the Moscow region at that time.

The Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) said air traffic control had lost radio contact with the ill-fated plane “a few minutes” after take-off, and it disappeared from radar screens while flying over the Ramenskoe district of the Moscow region, TASS reported.

No. Mo'sad spooks are too clever and devious to risk using their own people.

If anything, such Masterminds would leverage 3rd or 4th degree of separation cutouts and Useful/Yusseful Idiots: a deep Mo'sad agent would pose as a Chechen (or similar ilk), and recruit a bunch of Muzzy losers whose background and psych profile makes them the ideal Yussef-fool. That way, nothing ever gets traced back to HQ.

You'd be a retard or the Hick section of ZH, to use own agents.

being nice is a sure way to be taken advantage of. they, the loser fuks, exist to fuk you and i over. 1 out of ten will kick me down and take any and everything i have if they so desire at that point in time, thus the randomness. a life of experience tells me this. but the good news is, i don't have to be a victim by how i carry and dress myself. plus i have a carry permit in case of the worst case unfolds after trying all evasion techniques. just sayin, signed, paranoid intentionally...

why not be as non-judgmental as Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 

The Russian cock-sucking bot will distort to any fucking level of denial or absurdity when they shoot down a passenger liner and then piss themselves like dogs blaming others without any fucking evidence.

It's not like there was buk systems in Russia was there targeting airliners?

This crash unfortunately probably happened because some vodka damaged idiot didn't do the maintenance and the craft simply failed in-flight.

It didn't go boom and have a missile trail like in Ukraine, there wasn't radio traffic cheering the event...

fucking jooooo this jooo that russian cocksucking bots

The plane was quite a distance from the takeoff point which means a manpad would need to be quite close and lucky to get a shot at it. Planes don't fly precisely on a flight line. Also, communication failed within a couple minutes of takeoff indicating a problem. The trouble with shooting down a nation's commercial flights is others can easily play that game tit-for-tat. That's why it's rare. That said, sabotage is a possibility. If it was Israel they'd likely go after a military plane for retribution. In any event, their air attacks on Syria will be dangerous going forward with Syria deciding to attack their fighter jets.

Is that Baby NuttyYaJoo's official statement?

 

We are indeed provoking nuclear war with Russia, and only the most dim-witted among us still cannot see it.

 

The inbred ZioNAZI neo-Cohens actually think there will be winners in a global thermonuclear war.

 

The ZioNAZI state of Jizzrael is the biggest threat to humanity the world has ever known, and must be neutralized, ASAP!

Hey Yomutti,

You were yappy happy yesterday about your "IDF brothers" hunting in Syria.

I asked you if they were hunting Syrians the way they hunted wounded American sailors on the USS Liberty.

If your weasel IDF brothers start hunting Ruskies in any way they will not get off the hook.

Ruskies are not Americanskis.

Aside from rooting for your IDF brothers living on American welfare checks, you need to stay away from gloating about plane accidents anywhere.

That is really low, even by IDF standards.
