To Armenia?

The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan (who are still formally in war with each other) are going to meet on Friday in Russia. They're going to talk about Nagorno-Karabakh. Yesterday, the Azeri President said that there's no chance of Nagorno-Karabakh getting independence, and he wants Armenian troops to withdraw from NK.

bbc are reporting state tv says 168 people have been killed

Watch the movie Knowing folks. Im telling you. The end is near. This plane and the last plane. Only one child saved.

BBC says it was "a Tupolev".

RussiaToday says it was a Tupolev TU-154

My two cents? Blame wireless technology. We can't just pollute the EM spectrum and expect nothing to happen.

Which is why we need a new communications system.

"The plane took off from the Imam Khomeini airport and 16 minutes later it disappeared off the radar and then it crashed," he said, giving the takeoff time at 11.33am (1703 AEST).

"We can not confirm anything more before we receive additional information from the team that we despatched at the crash site."

State television's website said all aboard were "most probably were dead."

"The passenger plane was completed destroyed and the wreckage was scattered everywhere," IRNA quoted Qazvin police chief Masoud Jafari Nasab as saying.

To be honest, i cant see any conspiracy here, nor anything to do with em pulses or solar flares. Were in financial crisis and cut backs are being made all over and i would assume those cut backs apply to maintanance as well. Less money for maintanance, people utting corners to save a few quid = more likelihood of planes crashing.

Jeeees, I'm really not keen on flying as it is but all these crashes recently are just feeding my phobia. I can't even begin to imagine what these people went through in the last few moments of their lives

Not to stray off topic, but with regards to the 9/11 Shanksville 'crash' the video above shows what a plane crash in a field actually looks like, rather than just a hole where the plane supposedly "buried itself".

RIP to all those that lost their lives, there seems to be far too many aviation crashes at the moment, and I hope it's not down to cost-cutting on maintenance due to the state of the global economy.

I thought ATS debunked that possibility?
remember, there are no climate change on a huge scale..

Going to be fun when people realize that we actually are in deep shait..

Just my 2cents..

it's also not far from where a couple of tectonic plates cross no?
