    Sources at the crash site, speaking to state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti, confirmed that the plane plummeted into a cliff face.

    CFIT, if true. Not defenestration this time, apparently.

      Running into a cliff face at speed is like falling out the window of a tall building, just rotated 90°.
