Madness!

As VNAV PATH sagely observed, the two photos posted by StormyKnight don't seem to resemble Siberian winter

And yes, KarlADrage has it right -- they are two different crash sites, both vastly remote from Siberia.

The upper photo appears to be of a Tu-134 that crashed near Petrozavodsk (in far northwestern Russia) in June of 2011.

The lower photo -- an actual AN-12 this time! -- would seem to be a crash in the Phillipines in April of 2010.

No doubt StormyKnight posted in good faith, unaware that the linked sources inexcusably stuck random file photos on their reports without identifying them as such!

To complete the circle, we need an online journal that illustrates the Irkutsk crash story with a photo of the Zeppelin Hindenburg burning up at Lakehurst, NJ.
