Plane crash, all dead....

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?

“The biggest big business in America is not steel, automobiles, or television. It is the manufacture, refinement and distribution of anxiety.”—Eric Sevareid (1964)

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.
