"- Total coincidence
- Improper Fueling, Contamination
- Knowing how Russian aviation can be, just about anything could be the cause"
thx for replying...i would imagine that total coincidence would never be believed by anyone though, and if it were internally regarded as likely, the russian govt would very possibly blame terrorists anyway.

So, we have two planes down and a bomb? Sounds like the "bad fuel" theory might be OUT.
To: All
Can someone go on Airliners.net in the (General Aviation Forum) and see what they are saying. My Puter locked up over there.

This sounds more like simultaneous shoe bombs!
To: COEXERJ145
I'll say flt 587 that crashed in LI was one.
Admitting that would have caused the nationalisation of the US airline industry.
To: Hi Heels
We shall see -- This is Russia we are talking about. That being said it sure seems to be terrorism, but to what aim? I would think that if it is then it is 'local' muslim terrorists, not a global setup..

I wonder if Russia will temporally ground air travel until they figure out what is going on.

Shepard Smith just reported that witnesses saw explosions in the air before the planes crashed!!!
To: ConservativeMan55
Fox reporting witnesses saw an explosion before the airliners crashed. Maybe it was before one of them crashed.
Russian govt. hasn't confirmed.

"Why do you think it's so implausible?"
I don't find it implausible - just not a certainty. The two planes in question took off from the same airport. Someone mentioned that this could be a case of sabotage. Another person mentioned it could simply be gross incompetence by the ground crew. I'm sure there are plenty of other things it could be as well. It could very well be a coordinated terrorist attack, but that's not the only possibility; as some would suggest.
