Talk:2004 Russian aircraft bombings

Old talk
As started, this page is essentially a merge of Siberia Airlines Flight 1047 and Volga-AviaExpress Flight 1303 - they seemed to need to be together.

Added a little info about possible suspects. Another change was in passenger and crew numbers, my source being.

Oh, and I removed the passenger list. Evercat 19:11, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Flight 1303 not Flight 1353
It looks like the Bartles ref is in error with respect to the flight number of the Volga-AviaExpress; see the Commons recent image of signs near the crash site.PeterWD (talk) 23:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Why such light sentences?
In the 'old days' such corruption would have led to executions. These people who accepted bribes seem to have hardly been punished at all - are there any statments in any Reliable Source that speculated on why?104.169.17.20 (talk) 00:14, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Flight times
The BBC news article linked in the references refer to the flights taking off within a few minutes of each other. Then, the same BBC also refers to Siber Airlines leaving 17:35 and Volga-Aviaexpress 1303 at 18:15. Even assuming they've converted the times in some way, this doesn't match 21:35 and 22:30. ASN has Siberia Airlines flight 1047 as departing 22:40 and Volga-Aviaexpress at "about 22:30". Is someone able to read the actual accident report in Russian and confirm the times with citation?
