Christophe de Margerie, CEO of French oil giant Total and three other crew members were killed Monday night when the business jet they were flying in crashed upon takeoff at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow.
According to reports, the plane hit a snow plow while attempting to take off. As the pilot attempted to turn back and land, the plane crashed in a fireball. The driver of the snow plow was reportedly drunk at the time but he survived.
De Margerie who had worked at Total since 1974 became head of Middle East operations in 1995, then boss of exploration and production in 2002. He served as CEO since 2007. He leaves behind a wife and children.
Sad..
