[OT] Russia may have just had their own little 9/11
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe...ash/index.html
If this isn't some sort of terrorism, it's the biggest coincidence ever. Of course, when you add the reliability of Russian planes to it, maybe not so big. (Yes, I know it's a morbid joke.) -- Goliath & Wildwing's Storage Room http://anatidae.homestead.com/ |

One story circulating, is that one of the pilots radioed a Hijack warning moments before contact was lost... Cheers, Richard |

Whatever the cause, the shock and loss deserves all our sympathies.
One line of investigation is the jet fuel depot at the airport they just used -- checking fuel contamiation. That should be easy enough to run to ground. And if terrorism is involved, don't overlook the simmering Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia hostilities -- the Caucasus is fiery with disorder.

I don't get it on why people kept posting off topic stuff in a
non-related newsgroup. If one want to talk something Russian, would one at least compare the disappearance of Buran with the disappearance of the Columbia. And why the death of eight people aren't talked as much as the disappearance of seven people, "james_anatidae" wrote in message ... http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe...ash/index.html If this isn't some sort of terrorism, it's the biggest coincidence ever. Well... In 11th September 2001, something crashed into the Pentagon, NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE can crash anything on the Pentagon that easily without the Pentagon's permission (unless you are saying that a super high tech U.F.O. was involved here), proving that to do that one required a massive inside job, maybe the same thing happened in the Russian government? But then again, the ones who control both governments (U.S.A. and Russian) are the same group of people anyway. It should be noted terrorism is an of putting fears into people, the events don't necessary have to exist. Jusk ask any horror producer, they're an expert in the art of terrorism. Of course, when you add the reliability of Russian planes to it, maybe not so big. Russian/Soviet planes are quite reliable, but... lately many of them are fitted with 'western' avionics to be 'updated', these avionics while might be 'advanced', in the same time they're also quite frail and can be easily exploited, and there also the chance that these avionics might even contained trojan horse (or maybe even horses). There are several possibilities: - The plane was hijacked. - The plane's avionics fritz and then tell that it was hijacked. - The plane's avionics was ordered from the outside to tell that it was hijacked. Remember, be open minded, and also remember what Arthur Conan Doyle once said "When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth." (Yes, I know it's a morbid joke.) Cruel joke maybe? |

I have always been concerned about the Russian practice of parking large
numbers of commercial aircraft on the tarmac far from the terminal; these planes may sit there for extended periods prior to their flight. It would not be difficult for a terrorist to sneak into this area and to plant bombs on aircraft, since security cannot be that tight. Domodedova is littered with such planes, I think some only fly once a week. On the other hand, its possible that fuel contamination would take out 2 planes, but doing so within 3 minutes of each other is highly unlikely.

m... I don't get it on why people kept posting off topic stuff in a non-related newsgroup. If one want to talk something Russian, would one at least compare the disappearance of Buran with the disappearance of the Columbia. And why the death of eight people aren't talked as much as the disappearance of seven people, It is clearly labeled as Off Topic. Also, as a aeronautical event, I thought it would of interest to the readers of these groups. Judging by the number of replies, it is. |
