Massive air crash in Russia?

[CU Tiger]

I cant find anything to confirm this but just heard on the radio that two "747 sized" passenger airliners have collided over Moscow thinking to have killed over 1,000 people. Anyone else?

Some variants can carry 500+, for what it's worth...

Not if they collided over the city.

This?

edit: Hm, April 24th, so probably not.

Yes, I think the largest number of fatalities for a single plane crash was a JAL 747 that had slightly over 500 passengers and crew.

I heard that Barney Frank and Rush Limbaugh ran into each other at an airport. Perhaps that was misreported as two (hot) airliners colliding.

Something always gets lost in translation...
