Plane crash in Russia involves KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

[D-rock]

Completely horrible. I don't think it's any more tragic than any other plane crash that kills that many people, but still it's a very tragic thing.

Certain mods will find this amusing.

the most touching memorial ceremony i have ever seen

Thanks for the link.
Beautiful music by a.o. Tchaikovsky and Mozart.

I watch ice hockey mainly during the Olympics, and therefore became more or less familiar with the names of players like Demitra, Liv, Salei, Skrastins and Rachunek. I always loved Demitra, one of the main characters in that dazzling team of Slovakia, with Gaborik c.s.

It's a big blow for the ice hockey world.

The owners of the Lokomotiv have announced the team will not play this year and will focus their efforts on rebuilding the team and providing support to families.

Pilot error: Hockey crash probe findings released

The final results of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash investigation have been announced. With pilot error being the main reason behind the tragedy, the commission also revealed a banned substance in the blood of a crew member.
"In answering the checklist item 'takeoff data,' the captain said 'Calculated, reported.' However, no concrete values of takeoff weight, centering, and pre-calculated speeds were named during the takeoff sequence,"
