CNN.com banner is saying the following: "A Russian passenger jet with 170 people aboard disappeared from radar screens after sending an SOS message and an emergency official said it probably had crashed, The Associated Press reports. "

Sad indeed. No more details yet...

Quoting Tony Lu (Thread starter):
believed to have crashed as a result of aging.

Who actually claims to know the cause, when there isn't even reliable information about what really happened?

Sad news, anyhow.

True, don't start saying thinggs like that unless you know. Everytime a Russian jet crashes, some people are quick to say:"Its because it was old..."

It was claimed by ABC7 of the San Francisco Bay Area. They said (not me) it crashed probably due to the jet aging.

First -

I sincerely hope that everyone walks away from this crash, although I somehow doubt it.

Quoting Tony Lu (Thread starter):

Ridiculous. It's impossible to conclude such a thing at such an early stage.

As if the general media would have a clue.
