"A small plane carrying skydivers crashed Saturday in the Tver region, killing 11 people. But 14 other people survived. NTV television said investigators were considering the possibility that the plane had been overloaded. The station said the L-410 was meant to carry only up to 19."
...sounds like it was being driven by a Johannesburg taxi driver! Let410 carries either 17 or 19 pax ...but possibly with the seats removed (as they would be for paradropping) it would still be within limits with 21 aboard. And with no cargo, another 4. And with minimum fuel, possibly more.
Quite worrying, the tail falling off like that. Was it the vertical stab or the whole tailcone with the elevators & VS ?
