Ukrainian Media ‘Burn Down 140 Passengers’ at Moscow Airport

When it comes to news about Russia, Ukrainian media are pretty good at making things up. The more frightening – the better, their logic is, TV Channel Zvezda said.

Ukrainian portal News Daily reported that in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport the lightning struck at a plane and burned to death 140 passengers flying from Moscow to Astrakhan on Sunday.

"At the height of about 3,500 meters, the plane's crew saw a bright flash and felt a strong blow. Then the plane burst into flame and literally burned in the air. Wreckage and the remains of burned passengers are being gathered around the entire the airport," Ukrainian News Daily reported.

The source also concluded that pilots were under the influence of drug and neglected safety measures.

Needless to say, no plane burned down and nobody died in the Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday. With the availability of Internet and social media, news about the burned down plane and the death of 140 people would have made the headlines of all major news agencies within minutes.

Just wow. The amount of lies and anti-Russian propaganda in the Ukrainian media is disturbing. Not only do Ukrainian news channels misinterpret facts and details, but they've started to make up stories that have nothing to do with reality. The above-mentioned story could only be taken from a script of a Hollywood movie. With their vivid description of the bodies of passengers burned to the ashes scattered all over the Sheremetyevo airport, editors of News Daily should perhaps try getting into the B-level movie industry. You've got the talent, folks!
