“Weapons cargo no doubt.”

Or full fuel tanks.

It was carrying cargo from Serbia to Jordan. Might have been weapons. Something went wrong over the Aegean Sea.

Ammo would eventually cook off like firecrackers in a fire.

Fuel would burst according to how many containers have fuel.

I dunno.... Seems to me like Biden and the warmongers would be delivering the weapons directly to Ukrane, or at least to Poland ....

Unless it is part of a bigger scam, and they are letting various bad actors to skim weapons off the top for later terrorist use or Arms dealing Friends of Joebama to sell.

Yep, this flight would have had nothing to do with the war in Ukraine.

The greek media says it had dangerous cargo, mostly explosives.

The mayor said explosions were heard for an hour after the crash.

From other sources i heard speculation about engine failure

Before the crash, the pilot gave a distress signal and informed the dispatcher about the engine failure. It can be seen that the plane caught fire while still in the air, and after the fall there was a powerful explosion. It is reported that 8 crew members were killed. Electricity supply was interrupted in nearby settlements.

Greece withdraws all firefighters due to “unknown toxic materials on the plane” as a precaution

It was carrying cargo from Serbia to Jordan.

The Daily Mail reports the weapons were destined for the Bangladeshi military.
