NEW YEAR - NEW COINCIDENCE

Welcome to 2011, and on day one 2 TU154s suffered accidents in Russia, killing 6 and injuring many more. One caught fire shortly before take-off from Surgut in Siberia (http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/01/01/russia.jet.explosion/index.html?hpt=T1), while the other was making an emergency landing at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6B315Z20101205), and broke up after departing the runway. Like my previous post regarding the similar accidents in Karachi, this can be nothing other than coincidence but it does raise new questions over the airworthiness of the aging Eastern built fleet.
