Prayers for air travel industry in general. For safety.
The race for mass production isn’t doing the general flying public favors. Boeing is already compromised in its race against Airbus.
China, Brazil, and Russia want a piece of commercial airplane market as well. Internationally. Selling their planes for cheap and whatnot.
Prayers for the lost and for the comfort of their families.

What struck me was how long it took to get ONE emergency vehicle headed to the burning aircraft.
Sad, too, is they’ll probably leave the wreckage right where it is. That’s what they did in the 70s so maybe they’ve improved.
‘A source told RIA that the fire was caused by “a malfunction of electrical equipment.”’

Same “cause” as the Notre Dame Cathedral fire
Knowing how much I HATE to be stuffed into one of those horrible reginal jets, I can only imagine the pure horror those poor passengers suffered. Must have been a lot like getting trapped in a burning tank. Prayers up.
