FlyDubai Plane Crashed, all killed
#1

Not in the local news yet, but the BBC are reporting that a FlyDubai passenger jet has crashed in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don with at least 55 passengers and six crew on board.
If true, RIP to everyone.

Terrible and tragic news. My prayers with the families. It is a tough time for them.
The unconfirmed video shows the rate of descent was all wrong, too fast.

Many many more deaths through cars yet not reported in the same way. Flying is still the safest form of transportation apart from elevators.

What I want to know is... It failed to land on the second attempt after circling for a while. Who makes the decision to divert? Is this a junior piolt decision error or could it be pressure from flydubai to land a half full plane in less than ideal conditions as they didn't want to eat the diverson costs?
Obviously very sad for all those involved but less have died than in a bad day on roads in India.

Doesn't reporting/discussing this fall into the category of creating a negative impression of UAE and ignores the heroic actions of the crew, thereby bringing the state into disrepute, causing panic among the populace and threatening security?
