Catastrophic plane crash in Russia

Yesterday, Sunday 17 November, a jetliner crashed on landing in Tatarstan, a region of Russia. In the accident died 50 people, 44 of these ones were passengers and 6 members of the crew. The victims ages are between 13 and 87.

The president of the Russian republic of Tatarstan have declared Monday a day of mourning while rescue crews are still looking for the bodies in the wreckage. The list of passengers has been published but it hasn’t been found all the bodies yet.

It’s still unknown the reason why the plane has crashed and moreover the flight and data recorders haven’t been located. 


It seems that the pilot tried two times to land before the plane, which was 23 years old, finally slammed on the ground.





Opinion:
The sad reality is that all the passengers of the plane have died and even the progress in technology and that always it seems that it will be the last accident, these ones still happen. Nonetheless if we look at the people that travel every day in plane there are very little deaths but in this case probably the accident has been caused by a negligence because the plane had been 23 years flying and it had had previous problems.
