Already this morning there are many developments following the plane crash of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl yesterday.
First I want to include this video for those that want to see it but only put it in as a link for those whom do not want to see – it is graphic. There is video of Alexander Galimov being removed from the accident site.
Now I will link clips of news that I’ve come across via Twitter this morning…
