Too many people here think they're experts on aviation and yet probably couldn't tell a 737 from an A320 and a 767 from an A300.

Every time a plane crashes, no matter where it is, the majority of people here assume it is terrorism. Then later when it is shown to be human error, mechanical problems, or other non-terrorist related causes, some here will insist it is a government conspiracy and that it had to be terrorism.

You have a problem.

First, statistics DO NOT APPLY TO SINGLE EVENTS.

Second, we are at War -- and YOU do not know everything.

Third, obtaining a differential diagnosis is ALWAYS a good idea.

Fourth, the first step to getting out of a trap
is to know that you are in one (after Leo Atriedes)

Well, I know I could - having flown in just about all of them. But, that really has almost zero bearing in the current discussion since we are probably talking about Tupelovs... ;0)

So? Does this really cause you any hardship? Why make it so personal? I can't understand that at all...
