I'm assuming this one will sink to the bottom.

Russia FlyDubai crash: Other planes had trouble landing after bad weather hit

Aviation experts begin examining black boxes following crash that killed 62

Emergency workers on Sunday finished combing the debris-laden runway of an airport in southern Russia where a plane carrying 62 people crashed before dawn on Saturday.

FlyDubai's Boeing 737-800 from Dubai nose-dived and exploded in a giant fireball after trying to land for a second time in strong winds in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.

FlyDubai confirmed there were no survivors among the 62 passenger and crew and said four children were among those killed. Most of the passengers were Russian.

Considering they are already examining the black boxes it would seem that dead Russians are not newsworthy on the forum. Not a huge surprise. Doesn't bode well for Boeing if their planes can't land in stormy weather.

So much for the sanctity of life, eh?

Some lives are more important than others apparently.

They're just all commies anyway.

In this case it would be bad PR for Boeing as being the reason for the silence in the west in general rather than why loc didn't post it when he got news of it a few days ago.
