My prayers go out for the pilot, his family and the badly burned people. Such air accidents happen in the United States too, such as at an airshow in southern Maryland. That plane crashed into one "summer house" and slightly damaged another. May that pilot's soul rest in peace. Oh, on a curious note, why did the military authorities allow Nataliya Novikova to pick up crash evidence? That is a no-no in the United States.

American military has made this crash act plenty of times before, sometimes in front of large crowds. The American Blue angeles and other special flight temas have crashed many times. American people gennerally overlook this problem. They figure the military experts and technical specialists will solve the problem for the future. Why are there so many bizzar linkages to a common high-tech aviation close quarters flight act? Most Americans would be concerned abou the families of the flight team members. Seems like Russan has some sick parasites hanging around the sidelines, trying to make something corrupt out of the scientifically aero dynamic expectable. Peace .

It is so often that Russia has accidents in army...Is this some kind of mentality or just traditional absence of security measures and lack of responsibility , discipline? Any intentions to FINALLY put some responsibility on higher levels or wasting lives and money is better option?
