Russian Plane Crashes On Its Way To Syria. 9 Journalists, 83 Others Aboard by alfa2016: 8:59am On Dec 25, 2016
MOSCOW (AP) -- A Russian passenger plane with 92 people aboard, including a well-known military band, crashed into the Black Sea on its way to Syria on Sunday minutes after takeoff from the resort city of Sochi, the Defense Ministry said.

The Tu-154, which belonged to the Defense Ministry, was taking the Alexandrov choir to a concert at the Russian air base in Syria.

A total of 84 passengers and eight crew members were on board the plane when it dropped off of radars minutes after taking off in good weather. Emergency services found fragments about 1.5 kilometers (less than one mile) from shore at a depth of 50 to 70 meters (165 to 230 feet.) The cause of the crash wasn't immediately known.

Rescuers already have found one body and personal documents belonging to some of those on board. There was no word of survivors.

Nine Russian journalists, including a TV crew from Channel One, were also among the passengers. The plane was headed to the Hemeimeem air base in Syria's coastal province of Latakia.

Point of correction. It is a military plane, not passenger airline.

A Christmas day tragedy for some families. So sad.

This Life is filled with so much INJUSTICE.

The Russian Military has killed sleep in the eyes of the Syrian People. They turned children to orphans and women to widows, they turn the abled bodied disabled and turned the mentally stable mentally unbalanced.

Then you are flying Military Chior to go and entertain to Military personnels recking havoc in the lives of the Syrian people. You want you Military to enjoy Christmas
while the Syrians haven't celebrated in Festivity in the last 6years. Not because they don't want to but because Hassad and Putin have denied them their right and joy.

Sounds like Old Vlad would be having more than just Turkey for Christmas. A little slice of Syrian spice or Sushi (Socchi) would suffice.

May God be with their families
