Kira 451 Report post Posted September 17, 2011 We talked to one of the people at Centre Ice this morning and asked if they were going to have a moment of silence before the Red and White game on Tuesday. They said they didn't know. I begged them to. Hopefully it will happen. I also got a moment to talk to Drew Miller this morning and asked him if he's leave a red carnation for me. He said he would try to. Bless you, Drew... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted September 19, 2011 How much you want to bet that it will be something totally the opposite of what it really was, just to make someone look incompetent, when in reality it's the whole system that's screwed up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sibiriak 84 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Several Russian papers report that "Lokomotiv" captain Ivan Tkachenko has donated 10 mil. roubles (over $300,000) to help children with cancer over last few years. He didn't want anyone, even his family, to know about it. The last 500,000r. he transferred from that plane 15 minutes prior to takeoff... What a heartbreak.

Guest 13GoWings40 Report post Posted October 20, 2011 I know someone in this thread called this, the official cause of the accident is listed as "pilot error" On Wednesday, the news emerged that the investigators are working on the final report on the causes of the crash. The report is set to list pilot error as the cause of the crash. _______________________________ The testers claim that, when they tried to reproduce such deviation, they were required to take a strain of tens of kilograms in their hands according to the dynamometer. They could allow for it only by pushing their feet into the brake pedal. The pilot managed to keep the same elevating rudder in position at 13 degrees to within a few seconds. In order to provide the required force of 64 kg, the tester had to apply the brakes with full force. After speeding and installing the elevating rudder in to the regular position of five degrees, the testers simply removed their arms and legs from the machine controls, and the Yak-42 rose into the air with ease. The report makes absolutely no sense to me Of course the plane was working fine, the pilot just randomly decided to stomp on the rudder pedals at full force? Total CYA by the Russian authorities here. As has been said many times, you could not pay me enough to get on an airplane in Russia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 13GoWings40 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 I am wondering if a plane took off before it creating wake turbulence. That's definitely a possibility, but the cynic in me tends to think it was a mechanical failure. I guess we'll never know for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut40 176 Report post Posted February 25, 2012 Love that video!! ^^ Found this article a couple months ago. It gives a lot of detail about a couple of the players a coaches. It also gives a lot of detail about the crash and rescue. A lot of detail. There were things that I'd rather not have known. DO NOT read it if you're sensitive to that stuff.
