Five Russian scientists who assisted in the design of Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant were among the 44 fatalities of Monday's Russian plain crash, Moscow's International News Agency RIA Novosti reported Thursday.

The Tupolev-134 plane broke up and caught fire upon making an emergency landing outside the northern city of Petrozavodsk. A preliminary investigation ruled out the possibility of a technical failure.

Convenient.

IIRC, the Tupolev's don't have the most impressive safety records.

Since it didn't get "lost at sea", but crashed where they have the wreckage and bodies I don't find it that conspiratorial.

Far easier and less visible ways to disappear folks - especially ones in Russia who work around nukes.
