On the thread about the planes, it's being said that at a site devoted to airplanes, the word is that the second plane is officially missing.
Not crashed yet, missing...
Aug. 24, 2004 — MOSCOW (Reuters) - Witnesses saw an explosion on board a Russian passenger plane just before it crashed late on Tuesday near the town of Tula, Interfax news agency quoted local authorities as saying on Wednesday.
The Emergencies Ministry said a three-engine TU-134 with 34 passengers and eight crew flying from Moscow to Volgograd crashed near Tula. It said another plane, a four-engine TU-154 with 44 passengers and eight crew on board, went missing near the southern city of Rostov-on-Don
Hopefully the missing plane hasn't been hijacked by terrorists.
