LIVE UPDATES: Russian military plane with 91 on board disappears en route to Syria
According to preliminary reports, the Tupolev transport plane had 92 people on board, including 84 passengers and eight crew members. It went missing over the Black Sea at 2:40 GMT shortly after refueling at an airport near Sochi.
Most of the passengers on board were members of the Alexandrov Ensemble, the official choir of the Russian Armed Forces, the Russian Defense Ministry said. They were travelling from Moscow to the Russian military base Khmeimim near Latakia, Syria to take part in a Christmas celebration with troops deployed there. The head of the choir, conductor and composer Valery Khalilov, is among the 65 members of the ensemble presumed dead in the accident.
Crews from Channel One Russia, NTV, and Zvezda (the official media outlet of the Russian Defense Ministry), each with three members, were on board as well, the outlets confirmed.
The passenger list released by the defense ministry also includes Elizaveta Glinka, a prominent charity activist and humanitarian worker. She is best known by her blogger nickname “Doctor Liza.” Some reports initially said she may have deplaned in Sochi, but the Presidential Council for Human Rights confirmed that she was on board.

Glinka was best known for aiding children with serious conditions like cancer, homeless people, and other vulnerable individuals. In the past few years, she organized humanitarian missions to conflict zones, including eastern Ukraine and Syria. For her efforts, she was awarded the Order of Friendship in 2012, the fifth highest state award in Russia.
Helicopters dispatched from Sochi to search for the aircraft have discovered the crash site, the ministry reported.
“Hull fragments of the Tu-154 plane operated by the Defense Ministry have been found about 1.5 km off the Black Sea coast of Sochi at a depth of 50-70 meters,” the ministry said in a statement.
Around 3,000 people are involved in a search and rescue operation in the 10.5 square kilometer area, the defense ministry announced. The 24/7 operation is being conducted by 32 vessels with 80 divers on board, unmanned flying vehicles, and five helicopters, officials announced.
So far, no survivors have been found in the sea, local rescue services told Interfax.
At this point, it appears we did not receive data from the Russian Tu-154 that crashed after departure from Sochi.

Meanwhile, rescue workers are gearing up for the night search for debris. A total of 17 light towers will be installed at the suspected crash site, each with a radius of up to 50 meters, the spokesperson for the Kuban-Spas (a department of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry) announced.
TASS reports that weather conditions in the regions were “favorable” to aviation. No civilian flights have been cancelled yet.
The crash is ‘a nationwide tragedy’
Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences to the relatives of those onboard the ill-fated plane.
“I want to express my most sincere condolences to the families of our citizens who died in the plane crash in the Black Sea this morning. The government will do everything to provide support. Tomorrow will be a national day of mourning in Russia,” Putin told journalists in St. Petersburg.
Similar reaction poured in from the international community as well. “I express our sorrow to Russia – an important partner of Italy,” Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said as quoted by RIA.
His words were echoed by other high-ranking international officials, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “In her [Merkel] thoughts, she is with the relatives of the deceased,” vice-government spokesperson Ulrike Demmer announced.
Meanwhile people on social media are also expressing their grief over the tragedy.
“A terrible catastrophe. Condolences to the family and friends of the victims,” one tweet said.

“This is a national tragedy,” Elena Scherbakova, director of a renowned Ensemble of Popular Dance of Igor Moiseyev, told RT. “People, artists, professionals died,” she said, calling Aleksandrov’s ensemble “one of the best” and “unique.”
“We always have been working together at the events dedicated to the most important dates in the history of our country. [Among those killed] were artists who finished a school of Moiseyev’s ensemble, including my students.”
“They are great professionals who always responded on a moment’s notice and worked in all of the hot spots,” Scherbakova told RT. She also expressed hopes that the young generation of Aleksandrov’s ensemble will “preserve the traditions” of the unit.
“We lost them, it’s terrible,” a famous Russian poet Ilya Reznik who wrote songs for the Alexandrov Ensemble, told journalists as he fought back tears.
The Tupolev Tu-154 is a three-engine medium-range transport plane designed in the 1960s. It is capable of carrying up to 180 passengers, depending on the version. There are about 50 aircraft of this type remaining in operation throughout the world, with the Russian Air Force having the biggest fleet.
The plane that crashed near Sochi was a Tu-154B-2 with registration number RA-85572. The passenger capacity was boosted to 180. The aircraft has been in service since 1983, according to the online registry russianplanes.net. The defense ministry said the plane spent 6,689 hours in flight.
Over the decades, there have been around four dozen fatal incidents involving the aircraft, most of which were due to pilot error or improper maintenance. One of the most widely publicized crashes happened in 2010 near Smolensk, Russia, when a Tu-154M of the Polish Air Force carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his entourage crashed in foggy weather, killing all 96 people on board.

ST. PETERSBURG, December 25. /TASS/. The causes of the Tu-154 plane crash off the Sochi coast will be thoroughly investigated and the victims’ families will get all the necessary support, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
“A thorough investigation of the crash causes will be carried out and all efforts will be taken to support the families of the victims,” Putin told reporters.
“The government has been ordered to set up a commission that will be headed by the transport minister,” he added.
The president again offered his condolences to the families of the victims.
The Tu-154 plane from Russia’s Ministry of Defense vanished from radar screens at 05.40 a.m. Moscow time (02.40 a.m. GMT) shortly after taking off from the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
According to the latest information from Russia’s Defense Ministry, there were 92 people on board the aircraft, consisting of 8 crew members and 84 passengers. Among them was the Executive Director of the Spravedlivaya Pomoshch (Fair Aid) charity fund, Elizaveta Glinka, also better known to the Russian public as Dr. Liza, as well as servicemen and reporters, including from Channel One, Zvezda and NTV.
The plane was also carrying more than 60 members of the famous Alexandrov ensemble, an official army choir of the Russian armed forces, who set off to celebrate the New Year with the air group of Russia’s Aerospace Forces at the Hmeymim air base in Syria. The choir’s conductor Valery Khalilov was also on the list of passengers.
The Defense Ministry said that debris from the Tu-154 had been found 1.5 km off the coast of Sochi at the depth of 50-70 meters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to set up and head a government commission to look into the Tu-154 plane crash. The Investigative Committee announced that a criminal case was opened based on “the violation of rules of flights safety or preparation for them.”.

yes wel all know that everything is a false flag. It always is on BIN
false flag? a 40+ yr old soviet plane, with a terrible history of crashes, falls out of the sky – and this is a false flag?
Well travel by Air is still statistically safer than any other form of travel even by Tupolev. I can find only 11 crashes, 8 by Areoflot 3 were bombings, collision with ground facilities and a hijacking. The rest were pilot error and 1 AC control error because unlike Airbus and Boeing the Boeing autopilot is not flying the plane. The plane crashed while in the safest part of its flight (only 8% of all crashes are during cruise), fortunately the sea in the location is fairly shallow and accident investigators should be able to recover the wreckage.
DK
methinks you entirely missed my point,,,, ——–> “and this is a false flag”
travel by air is by far the safest, even when crashes occur! the average survival rate of air disasters is incredibly high, statistically speaking – it is also the most economical if the plane is fully booked (passengers & freight)
my concern is the author jumping to “blatantly false-flag” without so much as even a preliminary accident report
P.S the 747 has had 4 times the number of fatal accidents, and the DH 106 with its limited run and experimental fuselage up till the Nimrod for the small fleet size 100X the probability of a fatal accident. (about 74 were built as Comets and 49 Nimrods – 1000 Tu-154 were built and the aircraft is relatively new in that production stopped in 2013, in Russia old designs keep going because they were built with the environment in mind rather than costs.).
One further example, 22 Concordes were built, 1 crashed proportionally in terms of fleet size you were 10x more likely to die in a Concorde crash and that was in an Aircraft we cannot replicate today.
Put another way the odds of a deliberate sabotage or shooting down of a very reliable old school aircraft are higher than any other cause because the airplane was in cruise and a model not noted for significant defects(unlike Concorde, 747 and Airbus marks noted for bits falling off, battery explosions and large numbers of electrical fires)
…thanks DK. Good to hear an expert.
Sorry Maxwell, you would not believe how much I hate that word having got my Degree and finding out the gulf between a graduate and a time served professional in the field. I have just pushed out some easy to come by rounded statistics (with a stepfather who is a lifetime airplane observer).
Just to push out the obvious again, Air travel is very safe, according to David Robeik the possibility of a crash in an air accident is 1 in 11 million(Oxford University calculates 1 in 3.5 million). Currently the possibility of death by car accident is 1 in 5000 journeys largely due to under 21′s. Even then during an air crash/accident the probability of survival is nearly 95%.
Considered the worlds least safe airline is Batik Air from Indonesia with 37 fleet aircraft with 2 accidents in 2 years with relatively modern A320′s and Boeing 737′s, no crashes therefore still safer than driving through India which would almost certainly result in a near death experience with the usual mad unlicensed and uninsurable drivers. It is where the Airline is based and maintenance(lack of) which gives it the low rating.
I would quite happily travel by Tu-154 compared to driving where each day I get at least one incident on my car cam, even if targeted by Ukraine, Turkey and Chechen bombers, this is 14th Russian/USSR flight to go down and right now security will be tighter on flights than around the Kremlin just like after Richard Reid in 2001 and the 9/11 attacks security is never better or safer just after an incident where the authorities have been caught with their pants down and with their fingers in the cookie jar.
“Blatantly Obvious False Flag”
.. but not one piece of information written here that indicates or even hints at a false flag at all.
Blatantly Obvious Sensationalistic Headline.
