Plane crash in russia :(

All perished in a crash of an Armenian Airbus OTW to Russia. Thoughts and prayers to the family members. There were 113 lost. :(

Yeah I saw it yesterday.  I think they said they found lifejackets floating for some distance out and the few bodies they had found werent wearing any.  They probably never knew what hit em.  Sad.

unfortunately, i can see this thread spiralling out of control into another boeing vs airbus debate.

its not a bait.  i dont give a damn about the boeing vs airbus threads, i only go into them to poke fun at people.  was speaking honestly.  You think i am that low to turn a thread about 113 people being killed into a "my jumbo is bigger than your jumbo" thread? :rolleyes:

Frankly furball, yes. There was absolutely no need for you to interject anything resembling that situation into this thread. It had not been brought up nor discussed by anyone except you. Tasteless at best and a rather proor troll at worst.

no, srry FB, I dont think poorly of you at all, it just that sometimes, just by mentioning that certain people might say certain things, sometimes inspires them to do just that.
