Kyle Turris and reporter Jason Botchford were on the radio this morn talking about when they were both in russia, the plane they travelled on was overweight and they couldnt jam any more cargo into it so they ended up bringing all the hockey equip on the plane as carry on

"An accident rate 13x higher than the world average" MT @barryap1 Russia has the world's worst air safety record:

have to wonder what other KHL players are thinking

i saw a tweet that another KHL team has decided to bus to season opener ... 900km drive

No way around it, the summer hockey has had.... well at this point this just hurts.

 

[devs30rko]

Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

They have a terrible air safety record over there. No way in hell I would get on any of those flying death traps.

Such a tragedy as we all know. However in the wake of this (unsafe planes) and the Cherapanov (lack of defibs) and Steve Kariya (being wrapped in a tarp to be removed from the ice) incidents, would NHL players retire instead of prolonging their careers to play in the KHL?

RIP.

PS. Stop flying these old ass planes, FFS!

TSN article says the plane is only from 1990. Younger actually than the fleet average of several of the major US airlines.

Don't want to jump to conclusions, but probably maintenance moreso than age.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Didn't see this news until just a few minutes ago. Was actually on a plane all morning.

My flight doesn't seem so bad by comparison now.
