damn, that's really sad. I too am surprised some MLB, NFL, NBA team hasn't had a crash. Thankfully they haven't.

I would bet air regulations in US > air regulations in Soviet Russia. I don't think it's that surprising.

The FAA and EASA have a pact so that they keep their regulations about the same. The rest of the world pretty much trails behind US-EU standards. Russia has a crash rate in aviation about 13 times higher than the rest of the world, so yea, an aircraft crash every now and then is to be expected up there.longhornbaseball wrote:I would bet air regulations in US > air regulations in Soviet Russia.

Eitherway, still very tragic, I may not have been able to watch many Blues games in Cincinnati, but I did enjoy watching Demitra in the playoffs.
