Ice hockey players plane crash passengers list

A plane carrying a Russian ice hockey team crashed Wednesday just after take-off from the Yaroslavl airport, killing at least 43 people.
The Yak-42 aircraft was carrying players for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl -- one of Russia's leading ice hockey teams to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where they were to play against Dinamo Minsk in its inaugural game of the Kontinental Hockey League's 2011 season.
It was the second major air crash involving the Yak-42 aircraft in the past three months. The cause of the accident isn't yet known.
Two of the 45 passengers survived the crash of the plane, which was carrying 37 passengers and eight crew members. Thirty six bodies have been recovered so far and the search for the missing is continuing.
Yaroslavl's regional governor, Sergei Vakhrukov, named the two survivors as Russian forward Alexander Galimov and flight crew member Alexander Sizov. Both are being treated in intensive care, CNN reported.

Yaroslavl Airport manager Tunoshna Arius Novick, who led the hockey team on board the flight, spoke to Russian news channel Life News and described the final moments before the disaster.
According to the 38-year-old manager, who has 12 years of experience, the aircraft made the run too long before take-off and passed the point of separation.
According to Novick, no problems were reported by the commander and everything was in normal mode.
"Yak-42 started the run at 16:00, Moscow time, and a minute later collapsed, looking about ten meters from the ground," Novick added.
