Razoray - The photos circulating are definitely of an earlier flight, but the pax list of the Sukhoi shows that out of the 45 deceased pax, 11 were hosties employed by Sky Aviation, plus another two executives of the same company.
That's a big hole in anyones company or organisation.

One can speculate extensively on what caused the accident, but the entire scenario effectively screams poor flight planning (we're only going for a quick joyflight!); quite possibly inadequate pre-flight briefing; and a substantial degree of complacency on the part of the pilots.
These were old, bold pilots, and they paid the ultimate price.
