RIP to all of those involved. :rose: And I hope all those injured get well soon.

Many of the players are well-known stars.

I work with a Slovakian guy, he reckons they've just lost their best player.

Very sad.

Its shocking. Really got to me that did

[Marc Overmars]

Very sad.

We take flying for granted but at the end of the day we're putting our lives in someone elses hands.

RIP

Awful stuff and sadly not the first time where the poor safety record and ancient aircrafts in the Eastern bloc have come into the spotlight.

An awful tragedy. The coach, Brad McCrimmon, played, Captained and coached for the Calgary Flames and was one of the heroes that brought us our only Stanley Cup. An awful loss of some kids in their prime - these included some top quality hockey players, so hopefully this will create the outcry needed in Russia to do something to improve their terrible aviation safety record.
