Title: Plane crash, all dead....
Post by raydawg on 02/11/18 at 09:55:52

In Russia.
Sad, it had just taken off, at this point it would have been under full throttle, most likely a fuel related issue.

What caught my eye was this:

The plane, an Antonov An-148 jet, was ordered by Rossiya Airlines, a subsidiary of Aeroflot, but was put into storage during 2015-2017 because of a lack of parts. Tass reports it re-entered service for Saratov Airlines in February 2017.

WOW, how can you run a business under such conditions?

Looking like sadly they failed to energize the pitot heat in icing conditions resulting in erroneously low airspeed readings. Pilot trusted his gauges and pushed over to maintain airspeed with the resulting breakup. Unfortunately, it's been happening for as long as we've been flying in ice. RIP all.
