3. Ice Hockey Team Killed
Are there any fans of ice hockey here? Well, this one might be too hard to handle. In 2011, the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl professional ice hockey team were flying to a game when their plane crashed. 44 people died and only 1 of the crew members survived this accident. Those who died were the players from the main roster, all the coaches, and four players from the youth team. They were about to start their 2011-2012 KHL season in Minsk, a neighboring country. Sadly the season never started for those guys. It was such a big tragedy in Russia that even President Medvedev went to give his respects to the victims’ families. And like in the most cases, this crash was caused by careless pilots. Actually, the pilots falsified their documents and it turns out they lacked the experience to operate such a complex aircraft.
