Russian Plane With 28 People On Board Goes Missing

For the third time in less than than a week we are reporting about a plane going down.

Two days ago 52 people died when a plane in the Philippines went down and now a Russian passenger plane has gone missing with 29 people on board.

According to air traffic controllers the plane is no longer on their radar system and all evidence leads to the plane crashing in the Kamchatka peninsula.

Meteorologists believe the crash was due to the cloudy conditions but other factors could’ve been in play too.
