MOSCOW — All 92 people on board a Russian military aircraft, including members of a famed military choir bound for Syria to entertain Russian forces there, are believed to have died when their plane crashed into the Black Sea on Sunday after takeoff, the authorities said.

The plane, a Russian-made Tu-154, disappeared from radar two minutes after taking off from the resort town of Sochi. Russia’s official weather forecast agency said that conditions near the airport were “normal, easy,” the Interfax news agency reported.

Seems terrorism isn't suspected due to unscheduled stop; maybe tech/pilot error ...
Tupelev-154 is old design; some say reliable, others say not ...
Still theories until they get the "black boxes" ...
