My anonymous source in Washington says that 7 out of 10 plane crashes are targeted killings. There were some interesting people on this plane.

Interesting comment - can you share the names?

btw, I've no doubt that some crashes are targeted.

The flight tracker shows a drop in altitude from 8,000+ feet to 7,000+ feet and then climbing to 9,000+ feet, that would have brought it dangerously close to hitting the ground since the surrounding elevation of the land is above 7,000 feet

It’s probably popular with Israeli tourists bc it’s close, and cheap and I understand Africa has some really nice beaches on the east and southeast coasts.
