I pray for all the souls on those airliners.

Hopefully, the lost of life is not high, but I fear it might be.

(CNN) -- Two passenger planes have crashed in Russia Tuesday night, Russian officials and a news organization said.

A passenger jet carrying 34 passengers and eight crew members in the Tula region crashed about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Moscow, the ministry reported.

A second plane went down about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from Rostov-on-Don, in southern Russia, government-run news agency Ria Novosti reported.

A ministry spokeswoman said she could only confirm that the second plane had been lost to radar.

The first plane disappeared from radar at 10:56 p.m. (2:56 p.m. ET), a ministry spokeswoman said.

The Tupolev-134 had taken off from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport and was en route to Volgograd, in southern Russia.

The second plane, a Tupolev-154, disappeared at 11 p.m. (3 p.m. ET) after having taken off from the same airport en route to Sochi in southern Russia, Ria Novosti reported.

There was no immediate word how many people were aboard the second plane.

The Tupolev-154 is a standard medium-range airliner on domestic flights in Russia, according to aviation websites



Have to keep an ye on this one.

One report from FoxNews said one of them was "shot down".

TOTAL GUESS

A bunch of copy cat chechans (the same group that held the opera hostages) trying to pull off a "getto 9-11 and the first group crashed the plane out of inexperience.

Russia will cover up everything out of embarassment, and in 3 years there will be a special about it on the discovery channel.

the other 600 miles south.

That's what I was thinking. Strange to happen at the same time.

A midair collision with two airliners is next to impossible unless ATC doesn't exist in the region.

If Islamic terrorists are trying to screw over the Russian government, expect a few major cities to become radioactive parking lots within the next few days.

Oh Yeah?  Russians are better known for shooting down planes.   BTW, they must have a similar record to air crashes as we do.

Yeah well WE were helping those same MUSLIMS to fight against the Russians in the 1980's.
Thats why the Ruskies got spanked.


Now its a different ball game, and I hope the Russians exact revenge upon those who just crossed the line.



These damm Mooslims are habitual line steppers!

Looks like it was not...

Highly, highly suspicious. Too much so to seem like coincidence. I would say:

1. Bomb on board
2. Hijackers taking the planes over, then crashing them
3. Sabotage of plane's equipment, although the nearly simulateous timing makes me lean more toward 1 and 2.

I would be surprised if it wasn't an act of terror. What Chechen town is toast by the end of the week fellas? I'm taking bets.

It has to be the rebels.  They've already attacked Moscow, they killed the pro-Russian Chechynan president.  The bomb they killed him with was built into the stadium at which he was killed.
