MOSCOW - Two Russian airliners carrying a total of more than 100 people crashed south of Moscow, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported Tuesday. There was no word on survivors.
The first plane was carrying 54 passengers and a crew of eight when it crashed in the Tula region near the village of Buchalki, the agency said, citing a duty officer at the regional center for civil defense and emergencies. The Tula region is about 110 miles south of Moscow.
The second plane was carrying 44 people when it crashed near Rostov, the agency said, citing an Inter-State Aviation Committee official. Rostov is about 600 miles south of Moscow.
Both planes were Tupolev Tu-154 jets, a medium-range airliner.
Just odd. Creepy...odd, etc.
Those Tupolev's fall out of the sky with alarming regularity, but two at the same time. I dunno about that one.
The Ukranian's just settled witht the victims of the Tupolev 154's they shot down over the Black Sea in 2000. Remember that?
Wonder who was on the plane that might raise an eyebrow?
