RedArmy 4 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 Via twitter: yea but at the same the ministry just said that he was on the list of the passengers, his body hasn't been confirmed and it doesn't mean he was in fact on the plane... probably was, but it is still not 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 I need to do some prayers for these people and their families.

Kira 451 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 I am absolutely heartsick. I don't mind admitting I have been in tears since I read it. I had a red carnation to give to Pasha last year at camp, but I couldn't give it to him myself, so I asked Brad McCrimmon to give it to him for me, which he did. I saw him after the game and asked if Pasha got the carnation. Brad had a smile on his face and said, "Yes. He liked it." I will always be grateful to him for that small gesture. My heart goes out to our brothers and sisters in St. Louis, who I know loved Pavol Dimitra for years. What a terrible, terrible piece of news. This has been the worst summer I can think of. Ever. 2 55fan and Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heinz 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) It has earlier been reported that Alexander Galimov has died from his burns in the hospital. The News Channel "Russia Today" just reported that doctors cant confirm that Alexander has died. So there is still hope that at least he may survive this tragedy. Fight Alex!

Casey 145 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 That's what I was thinking. It sounds harsh, but life won't be good for him if he survives. 80% burns is grim to say the least. Possible, but just barely. In children, there are cases of 100% burns where the child survived. I'm not giving up hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 Salei has been confirmed on the plane and deceased. Lots of reports Galimov passed away - nothing confirmed. And this doozy: @SlavaMalamud Slava Malamud The crashed plane was forbidden to use the European Union airspace, deemed too unsafe by the European Air Safety Commission. - it looks like the KHL may be going through another severe s*** storm for skimping on expenses, like what happened when Cherepanov died. I've read that 8 of the 90 or so of these type of planes have been involved in crashes already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
