Well they probably got one thing right - dad had a vodka problem. The reporter probably fell down a few times before reaching the phone, you know those Ruskies!

I can’t visualize any part of a 737 wing that one might be able to hang onto at 500 MPH.

“Andrei Shcherbakov, was taken back to Perm after a Moscow clinic refused to continue treating him, despite the severity of his injuries.”

If continuing to treat someone so severely injured amounts to vicious torture, then it's not about socialized medicine, it's about basic human decency.

I remember in an episode of the Flintstones, Barney and Betty had to fly on the wing of Pterodactyl Airlines. They seemed to have survived the flight okay. :0)

In the same sense they confused wing with wheel, they might be simply talking about cessation of heroic measures.

Good point. A lot can be lost in translation.
