“The plane crashed in Sochi, where it flew for some reason to refuel, as they say. I am sure that this is not a terrorist attack, but the condition of the plane or the pilots. This is because of the mess in Russian aviation, where there are too many old planes and corruption, when spare parts are not supplied to the standard. When pilots fly too much to save money. Too many of our planes are crashing because there is too little government in aviation,” Markov writes on his Facebook.
Popular blogger Lena Miro agrees with him
“Maybe somewhere in other countries the age of the plane does not matter. But only old planes crash here. When a normal airline gets rid of it, problems begin to arise with the plane that are difficult and expensive to solve. In the end, a tragedy occurs, which will be attributed to anything but age and malfunction. Don't fly old planes. Don’t do this in Russia,” Miro wrote in her LiveJournal.
Another part of the bloggers is sure that there was a terrorist attack.
“He couldn’t just fall. Debris scattered over several kilometers. The crew didn't say a word. There are no illusions here. It exploded,” writes Kommenrsant correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov on Facebook.
“The plane again. And ends in water. Creatures. We must understand that this is a war where the enemy uses any means and destroys evidence. They kill our ambassador and immediately kill the killer, blow up the plane, sending it into the water. Where are the killers or their scalps of those who shot our pilots on November 24, 2015, from our Turkish “friend” Erdogan? Until January 20, we will be ironed not on the battlefield, but in the back,” predicts political scientist Nikita Isaev
Let us remind you that the Tu-154 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense disappeared from radar after takeoff from Adler this morning, December 25. The wreckage was found 1,5 km from the coast near Sochi at a depth of 50-70 m. There were 91 people on board - 83 passengers and 8 crew members.
