A Russian airliner carrying 71 passengers and crew has crashed after vanishing from radar screens as it left a Moscow airport for the Urals, media say.
The Saratov Airlines An-148 regional jet was en route to the city of Orsk when it went missing.

btt
Remember when all the Western carriers, BA, KLM, Lufthansa, Air France etc, would fly a 737 into Borispol every late morning, but get out quickly, because if they left it on the tarmac overnight, parts would be stolen?
How about flying over Pripyat, and the reactor itself, post-meltdown, in an old piston-power Kamov helicopter.
It’s a long story.
My apologies.
People on the ground says parts of a helicopter also fond. Might be a midair collision.
Crisis resolved. :-)
Lenta.ru reporting it collided with a helicopter on take off or shortly thereafter. Video supposedly showing helicopter parts. I have no idea what it would look like.

Russian plane crash outside Moscow leaves 71 dead
they didn’t re-deice
unique perspective - thanks
really weird
I have always had an aversion to cockpit recordings of doomed planes
however, last night I put on headphones with Gold Rush on the TV and listened to every doomed cockpit recording I could find on the internet
nothing to shocking really, very professional, struggling to work through procedures then the sound of the crash. a few of them were traced back to poor design where wake turbulence caused a rudder input and the rudder went in the opposite direction with no indication to the pilots.
A couple where the captain tried to position the plane behind another as a de-ice cheat. didn’t work.
sad.
Quotation marks are not in the headline at the link. Must have been added by ConservativeStatement.
Sounds right...
Where’s the coincidence?
Q just posted the following:
71 [187].
[1] targeted.
Dossier.
U1.
Would you believe [1] source was used for [2]?
Find the passenger list.
Why [187] if inside Russia?
No jurisdiction.
Think logically.
SICK!
Q
Many years ago Russia would leave the wreckage where it landed. If it landed on a runway, they’d scoot it off to the side but passengers could see it. If a tree grew out of a crater in the runway, they’d leave it, too. Their fuel trucks were operated by 80 year old grandmas who would drive the truck out onto the tarmac, climb up on the wing, put the hose in and eye ball the fuel level. Not a bolt or screw was ever tightened that I could tell as everything shook and rattled on take off. I swear, the wings would flap to get off the ground.
Probably best to stick to trains if flying in that part of the world.
A few people here have confirmed in the thread that the quotes were originally there. Probably were quoting a Russian official but also it’s likely the weekend crew at the BBC. They had to have a sense of what that would sound like. Otherwise, someone is leaking some information.
