If your right
The EU has again banned Kyrgyz airlines from landing in EU countries due to their poor safety standards. Some observers believe corruption is rampant within the airlines’ administrations and does not allow companies to develop and meet international maintenance and safety standards. Heads of the companies, however, disagree, saying many were not inspected by the EU prior to being blacklisted.

An airport official said the crash occurred after the crew reported a technical problem on board about 10 minutes into the flight to Tehran, Iran, and said they were returning to the airport. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to give her name. Kyrgyz Interior Minister Maldomusa Kongatiyev told the AP there were seven crew members on board in addition to the 83 passengers. He said the plane went down 6 miles from the airport.
Interfax quoted Kyrgyz Emergency Situations Minister Kamchibek Tashiyev as saying the plane crashed 3 miles from the airport and that it had 123 people on board.

I suppose that we are going to repeat the first 20 pages of the Spanair thread. perhaps we could just insert a direct link into this thread and save the bandwidth. 
For me I would like to see photos or new reports (including what some call trash reports) and absorb and challenge the reported facts before putting forth causal theories.
any other takers?

Thanks God, there are survivors!
Officials confirm 25 survivors of Kyrgyz crash - 3rd Update :
Bishkek/Moscow - Kyrgyz officials could only confirm 25 survivors so far of the 90 passengers and crew aboard a 737 passenger airliner that crashed near the country's capital Bishkek on Sunday. Officials corrected the number of persons aboard the plane from a previously reported 123.
Unconfirmed local reports citing Itek Air, the airline that owned the plane, said that around 60 people perished in the crash about 5 kilometres outside the capital city. There was no word as to the fate of the other persons.
The country's Civil Defence Ministry reported that the downed airliner, which had been en route from Bishkek to Iran, was completely consumed by fire.
Itek Air is one of more than a dozen Kyrgyz airlines that are banned from flying into the European Union due to safety concerns.

I am disgusted, people get sick. injured and lose thier lives, and thats what you come up with, have some respect!!
If airlines and manufacturer's can NOT afford to maintain their jets properly then they have NO right to be in business,
A bad week for the airline industry, to say the least, more poor people with tags on their toes!!!
Money, money, money!!!
