    A Boeing plane with 55 passengers on board crashed Saturday morning in Rostov-on-Don, in southern Russia, a local official said.

    "The plane with 55 passengers and four or five crew on board, coming from Dubai, crashed as came into land at the airport in Rostov-on-Don," said Marina Kostioukova, spokeswoman for the local emergencies ministry.

    "At this this time we do not have any information on victims," she said.

    They were probably dead already like that last Russian crash.

    Humm no... the plane was landing in really bad weather conditions and crashed on the second attempt.

    I don't understand why the plane didn't divert to another airport but chose to circle for 2 hrs.

    I was coming into Tampa one time and they told us there would be a delay due to fog and we would be up there a while. After 1 1/2 hours they finally said we are going to have to divert to Miami due to being low on fuel. I'm thinking, you wait to be low and decide to change it up? Well we head to Miami and when they get there and circle a while, about an hour, they tell us Miami is fogged in also. I'm now thinking we were low on fuel before we headed here and still can't land. They finally decide on West Palm Beach and by the time we get there and land it is another 45 minutes. Either they give themselves a huge cushion or we were on fumes by the time we landed. Good thing we were not flying into a remote airport with no other alternates around.

    Got lucky on another trip, the engine cut out while we were getting ready to get in the line up for take off, another 15 minutes and we would have been in the air while it cut out.

    That's a pretty steep dive. Hard to believe they were actually trying to land it. Must have been equipment failure to screw up that badly.

    I love how someone was just randomly filming a parking lot out their window when WHOOPS a plane crashed.

    And that's a lot of fire coming out of the back of a plane that reportedly not under any duress but just trying to land in bad weather

    Looks to me like it is a security camera with no sound. The only movement is probably an auto-focus feature slightly zooming in and out as the light from the explosion flared. If there was sound I think we might have heard a little something from a 150,000 lb. plane hitting the ground.

    I thought that it was pretty obvious that it was security cam footage. How could anyone possibly think someone was filming that manually?

    Must've been a Pats fan. Those opinionated tiny white stoic small-dicked champions have nerves of steel.

    Years of being the Google champs at pretending to be lawyers and scientists have honed their abilities.
