One Tu-134 and one Tu-154 down... in 4 minutes time

Both departed from Domodedovo, Moscow

Doesn't look like a 'normal' crash to me

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

I know there is already speculation that it is Chechen rebels...witnesses apparently saw an explosion onboard the Tu-154 before it went down.

The wreckage was also spread over two seperate areas.
I'd say that's pretty good evidence of an explosion.

They started a FSB investigation for this crash, something they don't usually do if it's clear that it was caused by a mechanical defect.

Airlines are confirmed to be Sibir (Tu-154) and Volga Aviaexpress (Tu-134)

Now there is a new version of what have happened.
Aircraft have been... shot down by fighters,because they were hijacked and on the way to nuclear power stations,located almost on their airways...

sounds most believable version to me,because explains two strange things:

1.Hijacking and exploding aircraft in air daznt exactly looks like terrorist's purpose.More logical for them to hijack and attack with the plane some sensable site,according to 11 september's scenario.

2.As minister if defence said SU-27 and MIG-31 were included in rescue team.Sounds absurd.For what?
