I'm sure the Russians are just giddy over the latest pronounced support of manpower and materials to assist Iran in it's nuclear missile effort right about now......

But wouldn't it make more sense for the Georgians to attack military targets? Rather than two planes?

THE PLANES CRASHED SEPARATELY IN DIFFERENT AREAS. BULLETIN FROM AP/YAHOO NEWS:

Report: Two Russian Airliners Crash
2 minutes ago
By STEVE GUTTERMAN, Associated Press Writer

MOSCOW - Two Russian airliners carrying a total of more than 100 people crashed south of Moscow, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported Tuesday. There was no word on survivors.

The first plane was carrying 54 passengers and a crew of eight when it crashed in the Tula region near the village of Buchalki, the agency said, citing a duty officer at the regional center for civil defense and emergencies. The Tula region is about 110 miles south of Moscow.

The second plane was carrying 44 people when it crashed near Rostov, the agency said, citing an Inter-State Aviation Committee official. Rostov is about 600 miles south of Moscow.

Both planes were Tupolev Tu-154 jets, a medium-range airliner.

Page Hopkins said the Red Sea. She could have meant the black sea.

I think some Georgians in the south are muslim.
A link gleaned from another thread:

This is maybe not true/accurate, the planes collided, or terrorists were involved.

Or any one of 300 other explainations.

I'm coming up short here... maybe this is the confirmation that center fuel tanks DO explode at random?

When they said that one crashed and they don't know where the other one is, yeah it reminds me of Sept 11. Hope we're on Defcon 3 (or 4, I can't remember which).

The odds aren't great. This appears to be a terrorist attack.

There is no proof of this so lets not start speculating without any information.

>Never did like Aeroflot. Thoughts to the poor people on board.

Years ago. friend flew 707s for PanAm. Was number two for landing, on about a 5 mile final at Moscow. Aeroflot TU154 was on one mile short final, when it stalled, dropped to ground, then huge fireball.

Not one word on tower frequency for :30, then just "Clipper 7, cleared to land."

Cold.

(CNN) -- Two passenger planes have crashed in Russia Tuesday night, Russian officials and a news organization said.

A passenger jet carrying 34 passengers and eight crew members in the Tula region crashed about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Moscow, the ministry reported.

A second plane went down about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from Rostov-on-Don, in southern Russia, government-run news agency Ria Novosti reported.

A ministry spokeswoman said she could only confirm that the second plane had been lost to radar.

The first plane disappeared from radar at 10:56 p.m. (2:56 p.m. ET), a ministry spokeswoman said.

The Tupolev-134 had taken off from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport and was en route to Volgograd, in southern Russia.

The second plane, a Tupolev-154, disappeared at 11 p.m. (3 p.m. ET) after having taken off from the same airport en route to Sochi in southern Russia, Ria Novosti reported.

There was no immediate word how many people were aboard the second plane.

The Tupolev-154 is a standard medium-range airliner on domestic flights in Russia, according to aviation websites.
