Both planes were Tupolev Tu-154 jets, a medium-range airliner. Those Tupolev's fall out of the sky with alarming regularity, but two at the same time. I dunno about that one.
The Ukranian's just settled witht the victims of the Tupolev 154's they shot down over the Black Sea in 2000. Remember that?

I think I saw an 'Outer Limits' episode with essentially the same plot. Outstanding. :-)

Sounds like a terrorist bomb to me.

"2. unrelated accidents (has this ever happened before) "
ok I am now reading that bad fuel can do this....it would certainly account for #2. Are there any other mechanical issues what could plausibly cause 2 planes to go down in order?

We really need a better education in logic.

Another possibility could be fuel contamination
That's what I was thinking, though would the timing be that close?

"Sabotage?"
Perfectly valid possibility as well.

While terrorism is
one possibility, other things cannot be discounted.
- Total coincidence
- Improper Fueling, Contamination
- Knowing how Russian aviation can be, just about anything could be the cause

It would take more than 10 minutes to crash due to bad fuel. Poof, two gone in four minutes. No mayday. Bombs. Or, as some wags here suggest, two simultaneous center fuel tank explosions ;-).

I wonder if some shoe bomb boys were aboard. Which some people want to credit for every plane crash since Sept. 11th.

He did not post a news release, he said he heard it that way.
I was sitting right in front to the tv, watching Fox when they broke in for the alert.
I did not hear them say shot down. They said one crashed and one was missing.
