What is it with Russian planes and crashes? The fighter jets our Govt purchases from them (Sukhois and MIGs) are very accident prone too.

What a tragedy. RIP.

Tragic news, R.I.P to all those that lost their lives. Hope something is done about the poor level of safety.

Can't stop crying . This is biggest tragedy in hockey world. R.I.P to all people that passed away. Our national hero Pavol Demitra was also in the plane:( Can't believe he is gone. Truly slovak hero with big heart. He did so much for slovakian hockey. Damn, life's a bitch ;[

This is the retirement from National team, after the last match of 2011 World Championship in Slovakia. He just wanted to make Slovaks happy, but it didn't end well. Fans didn't care and said huge thanks for everything he did.

And this interview. So sad.

Wow. RIP

[Wilson 358]

Horrible, R.I.P

[Amblève. 4,995]

Two of my all-time favourite players are gone, Skrastins and Salei. I cried when I heard it, I can't realise it even now.

R.I.P. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

Does anyone know what will happen to the league? Will the season get cancelled or at least postponed?

[Amblève. 4,995]

The oppening match was stopped after hearing about this terrible tragedy and all the other games are cancelled from what I heard.

They are accident prone cus of the second class spares the government purchases for these planes. You dont hear many Sukhoi and MIG crashes in Russia and China. Sukhoi's are one of the best Fighters if not the best.

Russian Tupelov Aircrafts are considered to be the most accident prone and its a major aircraft manufacturing company in Russia and majority of the domestic aircrafts in Russia are Tupelov and hence the high accident rates.

[warnie_666 1,081]

Its really sad to see an entire team die. RIP.

I am surprised there were survivors in the plane crash.

[Milan 17,854]

Terrible

Today, the only player who survived the crash died. Given the serious injuries to his body, it is unfortunately no surprise.

[BluesChick 1,260]

I read last night that the sole survivor has passed away. So very sad.

RIP

[Amblève. 4,995]

Sorry for bumping this thread but I think it's necessary to remind the people of it.

One year has already passed since the biggest tragedy in the history of ice-hockey. But the dismay has remained ever since.

[Rmpr 8,977]

VERY VERY SAD!

RIP

Rest in peace, 1 year passed

Still a shock. It was obviously huge news here in Canada where hockey is a national obsession. Players like Demitra, Rachunek, and Salei had excellent careers in the NHL and were well known. Horrifically tragic.
