Info that is not in the news yet.

Looks like Tkachenko was dead after the collision, eject seat misses headrest. There is no information/prove that Igor ejected at all.
Kurilenko ejected and landed near the airfield.

Melnik was controlling plane with engine on fire to avoid hitting the living houses, his Su-27 landed in the plain field, he ejected and landed on the tree.

UPDATE, 18 august 2009: Melnik has landed in the field and Kurilenko was taken down from the tree:

Both pilots are fine, Melnik has landed in the field, it was wind so he gets slight legs concussion. Kurilenko has strain. Right now both in Krasnogorsk hospital, feeling fine.
