A russian Beriev 200 crashed last week in the mountains of Turkey
8 people on board died

Poor instrumentation. Tchaikovsky doth not approve. (plus, some joke about vodka)

I guess the entered in the mountains and due to high altitude and low speed could not fly around or turn back. Poor people. They were firefighters

~ A plane on its way to help put out a fire in a forest in Turkey ended up crashing after emptying its water to control the fire. The aircraft could no longer hold itself in the air and lost control and later crashed into a mountain, where all of the 8 crew members died.
~ So far the causes for which the plane lost control and could not sustain its flight are unknown, but everything seems to indicate that it was due to a mechanical failure. The aircraft was a Beriev-200 type fire extinguisher aircraft, which had been chartered from Russia to support the suppression efforts of the severe fires of the past two weeks in Turkey due to extreme hot weather.

What a fucking mess. Now who's supposed to put out THAT fire?

First time I've seen an actual video of the accident as it happens.
The only other one I'm aware of is the airliner the Iranian's shot down because they thought it was an American bomber. I don't recall any other videos besides these.

couldn't pay me to get on a Russian plane.
