A Boeing 738 passenger jet crashed as it was landing at the Rostov-on-Don airport in southern Russia, the country's Southern Regional Emergency Center said Saturday. The plane, which had traveled from Dubai, had 55 people aboard, the Emergency Center said. Get complete coverage of breaking news on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.


All 55 passengers and 7 crew members are dead. Reports stating all passengers were Russian including 4 children.
CNN has corrected it to be Boeing 737.

BBC news reporting possible fire/explosion on board plane
quote:

It is not clear what caused the crash but poor visibility and high winds are being considered as a factor. Unconfirmed reports say everyone on board was killed. There were reports of a fire or an explosion on board.

Reports say the plane abandoned its initial attempt to land and circled for two hours before crashing at the second attempt.

737-800

738 for short. 800 is the "model" of 737.

I didn't think so on my flight from CLT to MSY in September. Hit some really bad turbulence, and the cabin began making an extremely loud whistling sound. Would not do again

Must have been bad weather or human error because it was during landing.

shite I thought this was going to be in the US at first. Can you possibly update the title to reflect it happened in Russia?

ETA: Thanks for the addition in the title. Had family members traveling and caught me off guard at first.
