Tu-154 plane sent SOS before crash

SOCHI. Aug 25 (Interfax) -

The Tu-154 airliner that crashed en route from Moscow to Sochi on Tuesday night had sent an SOS message just before the it went down, a source with Russian security agencies told Interfax.

No other messages were received from either of the two crashed planes, he said. [RU EUROPE ASIA EEU EMRG AIR DIS VIO] va <>

I just read that a second plane crashed in Russia and they consider terrorism. :(

Russian planes fall out the sky with regular monotony without the help of terrorists

Well, yes. I think however there may be foul play involved here.

Or else it is an incredible but tragic coincidence. (not impossible)

The good news is that "only" 89 died in the 2 planes crash.
It seems that they were far to be full.

Like Sandy I agree that it'd had to be an incredible coincidence for both a/c to crash within moments of each other.

As it's been reported one of them issued a hijack alert so I have no doubt in my mind this was deliberate.

Chechynia elections are a few days away and the Russians were expecting 'a spectacular' apparently... :(

It seems that both planes took off from the same airport.

With all due respect to the victims, this is one remarkable coincidence - IF it is. I have my doubts. Two jets taking off from the same airport and BOTH going down within a short time of each other. It smells.......... :mad:

Latest news seem to make terrorism unlikely. A bit nerving indeed it is, just was on a Tu-154 last month!

One exploded (according to eye whitnesses) and one gave hijacking code. mmm what is there to NOT point to terrorism plus FSB is involved!

Well I'm affraid that FSB didn't get rid of the bad habits of the ex KGB !
