Was he given clearance to go on the runway, and if so, is the ATC person who gave that clearance still alive as of now?

A little too much vodka, tovarisch! That can ruin any one’s day.

I’ve had a few too many before, but I’ve never thought my snow plow was a plane.

Trying desperately to tie this thread to photos of Russian female tennis stars, but can’t quite make the connection. Hopefully a FReeper will help me out.

Damned Lie of Corrupt Western Press!
Besides, before anyone operates Russian Equipment of any sort, he should, should I say, have a coupla snorts of vodka to avoid overreacting to excessive outside stimuli on the sensitive controls.

As someone who hasn’t followed the story, in what way did the snowplow cause this death? Did it fail to clear snow from the runway, causing an accident? Did it plow into the plane? The article has no details.

"The plane hit the vehicle with a gear leg after that an engine burst into fire.The pilot tried a turn, but failed and the plane fell on the runway. The airport's emergency services rushed to the scene and started fire-extinguishing but they couldn't save the victims.
The driver is alive in an intensive care dept of a Moscow hospital. Some sources say investigators have already had a talk with him. The driver's lawer denies his client was drunk during the accident.
A source of the RIA Novosti news agency said the traffic was being controlled by a trainee ground dispatcher. Anyway Russian aviation professionals say that trainees are supervised by their mentors at all times. "

It’s Russia. It would be news if he wasn’t drunk.

If this crash would have been captured on video, it would have been part of a Russian Car Crash compilation (aka ‘vodka video’).
