[Vaekkrinhart]

RIP Pavol Demitra, former St.Louis Blue (NHL) and all-star.. Slovakian. God bless you, Pavol. I hope to see you one day in Heaven. You ROKK.

[KingOfErehwon]

I am surprised that the RT commentators haven't managed to accuse the U.S. of this tragedy. I wonder how many people here realize that RT is actually financed by the Kremlin? You would think they got over their Cold War mentality, but with Putin in charge, I guess that still isn't the case. It is a disgrace that any American station would allow them to broadcast here, although I will defend to the death their right to do it!

[harr77]

@KingOfErehwon Putin is not the president of the Russian Federation..........

[TheInformer13]

i know this isnt the video to say this, but the girl at 2:15 is hot

[Vaekkrinhart]

@TheInformer13 Yep. You are right. It's not.

[gdg747]

RIP Igor Korolev, Pavol Demitra, Blues 38s. And all the others who perished in this devastating accident and sympathies to all their families.

@llortatsujmai your a fuckin dick buddy..i'd like to come jam a hockey stick up your ass an watch you hop around like a pogo...show some respect losing so many lifes, is nothin to smile about you fuckin douche bag..R.I.P

[llortatsujmai]

@static2291 Jeez calm down, all I am saying is more deserving players who are without jobs can now make money to support their families. It just so happened meaningless lives were lost in the process. :D

[MynickisMi88]

@llortatsujmai Wtf, man, all live has a value. Saying this just makes you decent like 8-year old boy and of course "troll" of your magnitude who dares to say things like that has probably same IQ (sorry to all 8-years old, most of you are probably more clever that this). Also I just love people who knows nothing about aircraft shouting that Russian planes are bad. R.I.P. Lokomotiv

[kupper123]

Rest in Peace from Canada

[FIAL313]

R.I.P from Finland

[benjilittleman555]

I really hope the man in critical condition becomes well and healthy soon. he is in my prayers.

[pewploid]

Its an international tragedy ....

[apocalypse080]

zionists are killing ppl, they will rot for this in hell!!!

the plane was not even in working order to 'take off' who couldnt' even leave the ground?!

[Ayperos93]

Hahaha I laughed <3

[CallMeTouchNE]

@Ayperos93 Thats not trolling. Thats disrespect. Pathetic.

[HomoCallidus]

@Ayperos93 of course you did, inhuman american scum.

[vtwinbreed]

@HomoCallidus Don't lump him in with us.. We don't support his stupid views.

[friiksquirrel]

Rest in peace all!

[AsE199fukU]

That plane was not a accident they took it down

[mitchsmullet]

the plane was cut in half in the air? wtfff

[HomoCallidus]

@Wh1skey fuck latvian ignorant spiteful prejudiced heartless pathetic pigs and their hateful stupid messages omfg!

[Wh1skey]

@HomoCallidus "The aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-42D, construction number 4520421301017, was first flown by Tatarstan Airlines in 1993 and was later sold to charter airline Yak-Service, who was the operator of the plane when it crashed. The aircraft, whilst being operated by Tatarstan Airlines, had been banned from making flights to the European Community in 2009, following airworthiness and air safety concerns." Great, take more lives russia.

[SwedenEurope]

R.I.P guys:(

Sweden

[catuca72]

rest in peace to all nationalitys whom die in the crash, from canada.

[TandTProject]

Poor quality fuel possible cause of Yak-42 crash.. :( wtf the plane broke in two..

[AddeXtreme]

@TandTProject u cant blame the crash on the fuel. The fuel is strictly under control to be right. Engine failiure is an possible theory, it explains the low take of angle. But it could just as well have been pilote error. Its unknown if the plane were loosing or gaining altitude during the crash. If gaining, the pilot could just have made the mistake to not get as much altitude as recommended. We'll just have to wait and let the investigators find the answer. R.I.P anyways its very tragic :(

[IGGY904]

R.I.P guys sorry for the Russians loss from america

[MsWhatlife]

So terribly sorry. My thoughts are with the families and fans. RIP guys, you'll be missed.

.

[Dorisequador]

Thats what hap[pends when you fly discount.. you get and old plane that has cracks in it and no repairs properly. It broke apart.... wow terrible.

[rp1dmc]

The plane didn't meet any safety standards.

[arvids817]

Very safe plane? It's blacklisted in EU.

[leo32139]

Let's pray for one of the remaining hockey player !Fight Galimov...!

[lsvk100]

[WhiteWi]

[Tarkan123456]

RIP ......all

[waterspindle]

somebody tell me if russian planes have SIEMENS switches. honest and valid query please. thanks

[DJGTFO]

2011 is all tragedy for Russia from land sea air all

[denacofano]

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the loved ones lost.

[AEMoreira81]

For this, please deactivate like-dislike. This has been an absolutely dreadful offseason...3 players committed suicide and now an entire team gone.

At least several of these players were prominent for many years in the NHL, including the coach, Brad McCrimmon (1222 NHL games) and Pavol Demitra (847 NHL games).

Rest in peace to the entire Lokomotiv squad.

[fafafasda14424]

please turn off vote like/dislike!

[AngilasGuy]

@fafafasda14424

Why?

[AEMoreira81]

@AngilasGuy The gravity of the situation - an entire team (minus one player) was killed.

[AngilasGuy]

@AEMoreira81

So? The like/dislike isn't necessarily in regards to the content (I can't imagine 60 people at this time enjoy a plane crash), it's about the quality of reporting. Without the ranking system, this video will have a much harder time finding more viewers. If anything this needs to be brought into the light.

[Sting3733]

Russian planes are notorious for having bad safety records. These planes are poorly maintained and allowed to fly when in the United States or UK would never be allowed on the tarmac. Hopefully this will be an incentive to fix these major problems.

[radroofer]

There were three former Detroit Red Wings on that plane. The Red Wings are my home team. I've seen all of them play. May they rest in peace, they are sorely missed.

[barnuner]

So sad. :(

[Russia2010]

@TenzoRH2

he did start to late to take off, crashed in the antenne, and gone down.

[441rider]

Sad for all and their Canuck coach, cannot discount the witness that said he heard a bang and then the back of plane separated. That sounds very bad and at low speeds structural breakage would not likely be a bang.

[rcguycan]

Sympathy and sorrow from Canada RIP

[ezfla]

if we were meant to fly,we would have wings.R.I,P boys

[gthyhtujjuk]

I just lost my team to winnipeg but at least they will play elsewhere. Good god what a tragedy. I shall go to church in the morning and pray for everyone. Rest in peace you ice warriors. Such a sad summer for hockey fans.

[paepaekrub]

R.I.P. From Thailand.

[ervin920]

oh shit. r.i.p russians.

[98gunlover]

@TenzoRH2 Just shows how ignorant you are. It wasn't the planes fault. It was the pilot error. Mind you, USA has a good record of pilot error and fault planes.

[rp1dmc]

Players have turned down the KHL because of how unsafe their planes are.

[98gunlover]

@rp1dmc OK. It's not because of the planes, it was pilot error. And keep in mind that Russia is a big country and USA has a handful of pilot error crashes and due to plane failure.

[rp1dmc]

@98gunlover Who said it was pilot error?

[98gunlover]

@rp1dmc If you actually did your research you would know that the plane hit something on takeoff. So..ilot error? Human error?

[rp1dmc]

@98gunlover That doesn't mean it was pilot error. We will see.

[98gunlover]

@rp1dmc So if it isn't pilot error why do you jump to conclusion that it was the plane's fault. And technically when it hits something on takeoff its pilot error or human error.

[Russia2010]

@rp1dmc

u dude, should watch whole reportage not 1 min of it. even in this video u can hear it at 4:05

[rp1dmc]

@Russia2010 They will tell us later but their planes are still very dangerous and even some players are scared to fly in them.

[Russia2010]

@rp1dmc

i dont think so. how i allready said, i survived very strong turbulences over Kazakhstan 1983 cuz of yak-42 only. its a good plane, and this one was built 1993, so isnt old one for an plane.

i dont get why ppl blame russian planes if american or european crashes too.

how can u explain boeing crash in russia this month?

[greg357159]

Heard a bang ? Sounds like a collision... Was there something cloaked that they hit ? UFO's are real.

[Nieves57]

Please accept our prayers and deepest condolences to all the families, loved ones, and friends.

[neovannn]

Those soviet planes are shit.

Better replace them ASAP with Airbus or Boeing 21th century planes.

[Russia2010]

@neovannn

u're an fucking idiot dude. i survived 1883 cuz of yak-42 only. stop to troll motherfucker if u have no fucking idea what tha fuck are u talking about, BIATCH!

btw in russia, and many boeings around the world crashes too.

[neovannn]

@Russia2010

Quotes from your last comment: "fucking idiot" , "motherfucker", "no fucking idea" , "tha fuck are u talking about, BIATCH"

Seems like listing to Snoop dogg's albums had major impact on you.

[Russia2010]

@neovannn

bs, i was just angry about ya comment, but now i know, that u're an stupid moron w/o any knowledge about this thing. have a nice day.

[neovannn]

@Russia2010

No need to get mad.

I guess it must be a hard pill to swallow for you as you seem to be a fanatic or even a borderline-Lunatic but a lot of soviet era technology are now obsolete at best or even unsafe at worst.

I'm pretty sure that a lot a Russians agree with me or they wouldn't be buying Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover...... cars instead of shitty "Soviet era" Lada cars.

I wish you to have a nice day too.

[98gunlover]

@neovannn IT WAS PILOT ERROR! Don't blame the plane. And if you think Airbus and Boeing are fail-proof planes you are sadly mistaken.

[neovannn]

@98gunlover

I tend to agree with you on some points but when you read reports stating that: "the plane the team was flying on was forbidden from European Union airspace for being too unsafe by the European Air Safety Commission".

One can ask himself questions as to whether this plane was safe of not.

[98gunlover]

@neovannn I agree with you, but it clearly shows human error. If everything was going fine but the engines just failed,that would be another story. And actually, Airbus and Boeing has a history of fault planes. The Hudson, engine failure. The Airbus a380 that crashed in france due to engine failure. The main reason old Soviet planes are known for the crashes is due to PILOT error (letting kids sit on plane, alcohol, etc, this happened). But after many aviation regulations, it is much better.

[ForceLegacy]

I feel so bad, my best friend is friends with liam, brad mcrimmons son, my heart goes out to their family

[bossolineage]

This is why I am so scored of flying, I love flying but the fear of falling from flying just overpowers it...I dont wish plan crash on anyone, RIP.

[Dollymix001]

amazing the way any time a plane crashed in russia its full of very important people

[JohnnyStorm2007]

R.I.P. Sorry to see this happen. But on another note, this female reporter is beautiful.

[white0flower]

Impeachment to Putin and his gang of thieves!

We had enough of them already!

[DeSoccerRefMan]

I'm so sorry for your great and horrible loss.

I hope those old Soviet YAK 42 planes will

no longer be allowed to fly, or at least they

will be services more properly and more

often. Again. sorry for your loss.

[ciaran6o4]

Lack of regulation/enforcement for aircraft safety... a taste of what republican America would look like - Putin's Russia.

Fukn shame - KHL runner-up last year; can anyone imagine if the Vancouver Canucks, Pittsburgh Steelers, or Miami Heat all died in a plane crash tomorrow? That's some seriously sad stuff; heart out of Yaroslavl

[prjerry7]

2 of Russias latest Soyuz rockets launches have failed, Russias aircraft are famous for crashing, even Afghan air force knew not to take flight during Americas invasion, not only because they knew their SU's had no chance but because Russian aircrafts are infamous for their crash record.

THIS has gone on long enough!!! DON'T fly Russia!!!
