The fire engulfed the area of some 15,000 square meters, Russian Emergencies Ministry said. According to data issued by a mobile chemical laboratory that is also present at the scene, the dangerous emissions’ concentration around the fire zone has stayed within normal range so far.

Witnesses reported the fire to the emergency services at 20:40 local time (17:40 GMT) with the first fire teams arriving at the scene five minutes later, Izvestia daily reports. The blaze has soon spread to another two nearby five-story buildings.

A collapse caused by a suspected brittle rock burst in Vorkuta, Russia, has reportedly left up to 90 coal miners trapped underground. Evacuation of the personnel is underway.
The incident occurred at the Severnaya coal mine in the northern Russian Komi Republic.

The mine is beyond the Arctic Circle and is difficult to reach. Russia’s Emergency Ministry confirmed to RT that the number of mining workers trapped underground could be as many as 90, yet the source in the ministry assured that the situation has been taken under control and the miners are being taken to the surface in small groups.

Well CNN said that Serbs massacred 100,000 Bondsteelia....err Kosovars, so their Modus Operandi is no stranger to us.

Not even the airline is Russian, but well, it serves to reinforce how unsafe Russian planes and companies are - after all it happened in Russia, it has to be their fault.

1. Boeing 738 does not exist
2. Boeing is not Ru clearly
3. Airline is not Ru
4. Aircraft was not Ru owned either

It doesnt make any sense from any angle

Agreed with everything except the first point, 738 is a common shortened designation for the 737-800.

True, but its nowhere officially designated as such from what i am aware. Plus how many "common" people knows that fact? Between 3-5% of population probably.

It is indeed sad.

But it decended pretty steep, so I dunno what really happened as everyone is blaming the bad weather.

Its difficult to make much out from that video, but it appeared to be on flames before it hit the ground?
Thats, unusual if the cause is bad weather...

Could be, that one engine was in fire.

Seems to be on fire, and that is what the intial eyewitness reports stated. An alternate view on this video is that it is the aircraft lights diffused by the rain, but it looks like flames to me.

Do the video slow-mo and the light/flame is at the nose of the plane... very steep descent.

^ A CGI animation of this has been shown on TV and they have the aircraft coming down at about a 70 degree angle. This, if correct, and it's too early yet to be sure, seems to go against a wing dipping and hitting the ground due to wind shear, as is what is given as a possible cause. No witnesses have mentioned it cartwheeling, which is possible if it dipped a wing into the ground, just straight down.

Edit: Of the eight Ukranians on the flight, so far four are confirmed to be from Donbass, one from DNR and three from LNR, with one of them only five years.
