Unfortunately another plane crash in Russia. A A310 operated bt Sibir Airlines has crashed on landing at Irkutsk in Siberia. Russian telly reports only 44 survivors out of 192 PAX and crew. A/c mostly destroyed by fire but pictures do show rear exit doors open.

From the BBC..
"It overshot the runway then crashed through a concrete wall, before hitting a building close to the airfield. It then broke up and burst into flames. "

And it's not a Tu-154 this time!

Sounds like a tragic accident, so far.
