[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"s/he wouldn't wait to pass out and freeze solid before trying to take corrective action."

I believe the F-16s reported that the copilot was slumped over the controls but the pilot was not visible in the cockpit. Maybe he/she was trying to fix the problem and failed or maybe he/she caused the problem.

Any Freepers know what 300 to 400 mph of freezing air blowing over people dressed for summer would do? I've been in -50 degrees with 20 knots of wind and I know that exposed skin freezes in seconds in those conditions.

I'm also curious as to whether or not the Greek fighters saw any identifiable damage and whether or not they watched the crash.

If they saw any damage to the exterior, it would probably have been reported, unless there's a deliberate attempt to dover up evidence of a terrorist action. But an explosion that didn't put a visible hole in the plane's exterior could still do the job depending on what parts it damaged/destroyed.
