I doubt Georgia has anything to do with this, its almost got to be one of two things: a mid air collision, or possibly Chechen terrorists.

I heard one crashed in Moscow suburb of Tula and the other in the Black Sea. Both departed from Moscow.

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

Other reports say one plane might be a TU-134 instead of a TU-154.

I suspect a Cheney/Haliburton connection to surface soon.

I think some Georgians in the south are muslim.

Correct and not just south; but generally muslims in Georgia are pro-Moscow separatists (Ossetians, Abhasians).

Anyone who is given the opportunity to submit to Islam and refuses to do so is the enemy. It does not matter if they are military, children, grandmothers, or tooth fairies, they are all enemies which should be killed or made into slaves.(according to the nut book so dear to Islam.....)

From CNN...

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.

What are the odds of two separate mechanical failures happening within a short time. Probably astronomical. So terrorism is the likely cause.

No. They did not collide. They crashed separately. Early reports have one plane crashed, and another missing.

Same airport. Night shift. One bomber, with access to luggage of both planes. That's what it'll be.
