IT APPEARS A NEW MEXICAN WAS AMONG THOSE KILLED IN THE RUSSIAN PLANE CRASH. TWENTY-TWO YEAR OLD JEREMY BROOKS OF TESUQUE WAS ON BOARD WHEN THE JET MADE A HARD LANDING AND A DEADLY FIRE ERUPTED, KILLING DOZENS OF PASSENGERS.
BROOKS WAS IN RUSSIA FOR A JOB AS A FISHING GUIDE, SOMETHING HE WAS KNOWN FOR IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. BROOKS HAD RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE IN COLORADO SPRINGS.
