Update on crash.
Contrary to earlier reports, it now seems that the American pilot and one of the two Russian crew are in hospital in a coma. A criminal investigation has now been opened, which is normal procedure and there is a dispute about the plane, which landed upside down ,about the ownership of the plane. A Russian company is claiming ownership of the plane which arrived in Russia from Geneva on February 2nd.

How the hell can you mistake a Challenger for an A310/319????
Bloody journos. 😡
Good news they all got out.

Correction to the above: It now looks as though the aircraft was N168CK, and not N168KT as posted.
It’s still not an A310 or, for that matter, a Germanwings A319 which was another early candidate. 😎

Reuters are reporting that the Challenger 850 had an engine fire on take off and crashed onto the runway. The plane was operated by a Swiss company and the crew all escaped.
Additional information suggests that the plane might be N168CK, a CL-600-2B19 belonging to the Wells Fargo BAnk.

I understand that the aircraft involved was Canadair RJ N168KT and that it crashed on take-off during a snowstorm.
Recent reports say that only the 3 crew members were aboard at the time and that all escaped.
Sky News!! :rolleyes:

It seems that nobody knows for sure what the aircraft was. It looks like it may have been a smaller, business jet.
