Subject: Ice Hockey Team 'Killed' In Russia Plane Crash

Members of an ice hockey team are believed to be among at least 43 people killed when a passenger jet crashed during take-off in western Russia.
Russia's Emergency Situations ministry said the Yak-42 plane came down as it left an airport near the city of Yaroslavl, on the Volga River about 150 miles north east of Moscow.
One person is reported to have survived but is gravely injured.
The ministry said the plane was carrying the Lokomotiv ice hockey team from Yaroslavl.
The team was heading to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where it was to play against Dinamo Minsk in the opening game of the season of the Continental Hockey League (CHL).
The CHL is a league of several ex-Soviet nations.
Lokomotiv-Yaroslavl HC has told Sky News that it was its first team travelling on board the plane.
The team has a Canadian coach and Czech, German, Slovakian, Belorussian and Latvian players.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin immediately sent the nation's transport minister to the site of the crash, 10 miles east of Yaroslavl.
The Yak-42 plane model has been in service since 1980 and dozens are still in service with Russian and other airlines.
President Dmitry Medvedev has announced plans to take aging Soviet-built planes out of service, starting next year.
In June, another Russian passenger jet crashed in the north western city of Petrozavodsk, killing 47 people.
The crash of that Tu-134 plane has been blamed on pilot error.

The one member of the ice hockey team to have survived the crash at the time has now passed away from his injuries. So sad. :(
