Literally died of a broken heart. Can things get any worse? So very sad.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Please - - anyone here on forth with news like this, just try and keep it away from here. The news is disheartening enough.

Do you think he was trying to ditch it? Ala Captain Sully?
In that recreation it looked like he was trying to aim for the water. Obviously it's just a recreation and probably not very close to the actual events, but there could be an explanation.
This is just terrible, its terrible when this happens to anyone my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected!
Also in 1949 it was, In Italy there was a team in Torino called IL GRANDE Torrino, it was the best team in Italy for almost 10 yrs and had many of the national team players on it and it crashed and killed everyone on board.

This is true, and in fact Torino never really recovered from that.They were the bigger team in Turin ahead of Juventus, but they still haven't made up the ground.
These things are so mindbogglingly weird and tragic.
Magnus Pääjärvis brother Björn Svensson was offered a tryout contract with Lokomotiv half a month ago, but was already negotiating with a german team, so he turned it down.

There was an article yesterday that I was reading and there is a handful of events like this that has happened and wiped out an entire team. One that comes to mind is Marshall University. I believe they were just returning home after winning the championship. I don't entirely recall the story but it was turned into a movie called We Are Marshall.
Pavol Demitra was one of my favourite players growing up as a kid, he had one hell of a shot.
I'm so sad.
He was so fun to watch. I remember growing up too and watching hockey on the international stage and I found miyself rooting for Slovakia after Canada. I always said they just needed a goalie and they would be able to compete. Glad they were able to have one of their best finishes last year at the Olympics with Pavol.
I would wager that the 'official' reason will be anything but a full accounting of what contributed to the crash.
You have a very good point and could be right. But I just think of that Air France flight and I think we got a pretty accurate description of what went wrong.
I haven't seen anyone else report this yet in this thread as yesterday it seemed to be going back and forth as to whether or not Salei was on the flight(he was) also as to whether or not Galimov had actually passed away.
In the latest TSN article up on their home page right now it says that Galimov is in fact still alive. I'm assuming he would still be in critical condition and it will a hard task to keep the burns free from infection. But I guess he gained consciousness yesterday and was able to talk to his dad.
Bit of an Oilers perspective in that link, as the journalist talks about how a comparable city in NA would be Edmonton. Also mentions Grebs as wanting to return to play in Yaroslavl.
