Default Christmas day and some sad news

Good morning / Evening

This morning it has been reported widely in the media and around the world that a Russian TU154 from Sochi to Syria crashed shortly after takeoff and it has been confirmed that there are no survivors.

On board was the legendary Alexandrov ensemble i had the chance earlier in the year to fly to Lyon to watch their outstanding performance and meet some of them after the show

Tragic, even more so considering the day

Russian choires were one of the two loves - beside Gregorian chants - my grandfather, despite the terrible experiences of the historic background back then, brought back with him from Russia.

Another TU154 goes down.
Is it just my imagination or does this plane have a bad track record?
