RIP - another great loss to the world. 2016 hasn't been a good year for celebrity losses let alone those not in the limelight.

My thoughts and Prayers go to those affected but, forgive the cynicism - aren't the words Tupolev and Disaster almost synonymous in Russian Aviation?

Rest in peace.

 

2016 was a bad year for culture.

 

My thoughts and Prayers go to those affected but, forgive the cynicism - aren't the words Tupolev and Disaster almost synonymous in Russian Aviation? 

You MUST show more respect for the victims. Your thoughts are with the victims? If you are not lying, please, keep this Thread clean of cynicism.  Thanks.
