Horrific video clip at link of Russian Tu-95 exploding on takeoff. Seems to be fire/explosion starting on left wing. Seconds later, entire a/c involved. Then left main gear apparently collapses. All crew dead.

Nasty. I imagine they had a full load of fuel. It was over in an instant.

A fine example of Russian engineering
To: The All Knowing All Seeing Oz
Indeed. Rest in Peace. We’ve had our share of fatal crashes and no one wishes that on anyone, not even rivals and adversaries.

The left wing tip hits something while taxi-ing down the runway.

These are as old as our B-52s and still flying.

Yes it is. These things have been around for ages and are very reliable and efficient. Nothing wrong with them except the prop tips are supersonic.

Yeah, yeah, the Russkis are our buddies now, according to some here.
To: Secret Agent Man
Either that or that far left turboprop engine disintegrated and lit off the fuel.
Horrible way for anyone to go. RIP.

What has that got to do with being sorry that someone died in that? Friend or foe seems sick to lack compassion.

Maybe a drunk was driving on the runway.

Looks like clear sabotage/act of terror

I don’t know about being incinerated in a Russian bomber, but in that following video Diana Falzone gets (what’s left of my hormones) all in a tizzy like no other woman. My God..
To: The All Knowing All Seeing Oz
Scary to see how suddenly and totally things can go wrong and leave no options. RIP
