I do not want to anticipate the facts, it seems to me a sudden loss of lift , No/bad de-icing ?

The aircraft history, posted on Aviation-Safety.net, shows that aircraft was only in use with the airline since 3 days, after a two years storage:

Apparently also the first (fatal) accident of the airline in it's 87 years of operation.

Interfax later dropped the reports of a helicopter being involved.
Russia's Post Office reported there was a bag of about 20kg mail on board of the AN-148. The bag may have triggered the agency reports of a midair collision with a post office helicopter, however Russia's Post Office does not operate helicopters in the Moscow region.

Reports now state that the pilot refused de-icing prior to departing from Domodedovo (DME).
Also, the pilot requested an emergency landing in Zhukovsky.

Re: Crash Saratov Airlines Antonov An-148 reg. RA-61704 near Moscow, 71 fatalities
anyway, the plane was flying and climbing so it cannot be something related to de-icing

Re: Crash Saratov Airlines Antonov An-148 reg. RA-61704 near Moscow, 71 fatalities
I am not so sure there- could it not happen if the plane suddenly entered a mass of cold humid air? Undercooled rain? That said, the plane was seen going down in flames (if the witnesses may be believed), and icing rarely causes a fire.it cannot be something related to de-icing
Hm, isn't that a bit of local tradition / folklore ? Everybody denies everything unless it's really impossible?Zhukovsky denies this.
Re: Crash Saratov Airlines Antonov An-148 reg. RA-61704 near Moscow, 71 fatalities
According to the witnesses on the ground on the VRT news: explosion,fireball going down,shokwave,debris scattered all around the place.
Terrorism act or something else to explain the explosion..?

VRT now reporting - in one and the same article! - that the plane crashed in one piece, and that debris is spread over 30 ha (which amounts to a circle of 2 km diameter, or slightly less). No comment...
