A russian plane that was carrying 71 people one board took off out of Moscow Domomedovo Airport crashed shortly after takeoff. The plane and it pessengers were heading towards the Russian city of Orsk. The plane dissapeared from radar. It was unclear at the time of dissapearance wether the plane had communication problems or had actually crashed. The plane flying, is one of the safest and most reliable planes to ever hit the market, the An-148. The crash on Sunday ended the 440-day streak of no fatalities on a type of passenger plane. Snowfall was heavy at the time of the crash but it is unclear wether or not it contributed to the crash.

1. What do you think is the cause of this crash?
2. Does this crash make you question the safety of flying in the skies today?

Be sure inlclude personal thoughts within your summary and you only commented once. When you have only two pages of comments you should comment to almost everyone.
I think something wasn't working right with the plane that caused the crash. The crash wasn't expected; maybe the conrols began to not work. I don't think so planes are known to be way more safe then driving so I wouldn't questin the safety.
1) I think that a malufunction in the plane would cause this crash. Maybe something just wasn't working right. I know for sure that this crash wasn't expected.
2) I don't think so. It happens and you shouldn't be scared becasue it doesn't happen everyday maybe once or twice a year but not very often does this happen.
I think the crash was caused by the weather or some other natural event, but it may very well be possible that it was also an inside job by the Russians. I think flying is still one of the safeset ways of travel. These crashes are very rare and if they do happen, there is usually a clear answer to why and it is usually avoidable.
1. Maybe engine failure and they may not have update there plane for a long time.
2. Maybe if they don't update there equiment or if I hear there lot of crash from plane over one year.
1. I feel like it could have been an accident because of the weather but also since the plane went off the radar then it makes me wonder what happened and maybe it was not an accident
2.No because there are a thousands of plane crashes but there are millions of plane rides that don't crash. I love flying so I don't think it would stop me.
It could be because of the weather that night or there could have been mechanical or technical issues with the plane. It does not question the safety of flying, there is more accidents in cars, trains, etc. than on an airplane.
I could be with the weather conditions on the night of the Crash. It also maybe even a terroist from Russia or maybe a terrist from the us to maybe hurt people in Russia. No because Crashes are most common today and it could have been a techenical difficulty.
I think it could be either weather or maybe terroist
No because crashes are common
It definitely could've been terrorist related and I don't think that it will question the safety of flying.
