Russia’s airline regulator said it was suspending flying certificates for Boeing 737s in use in the country until it receives notification that the planes are safe to fly.

Been safe for about 40 years...
I thought it was an Airbus?
misdirection.
Totally political. Britain did not share the intelligence about the incident and did not forewarn Russia about their actions. He is trying to remind them of who the BMOC really is.
The recent crash was an Airbus. This is said to be in response to a crash that happened in 2013 near Kazan.
This is disappointing.
Putin had me believing he was a tough guy. But this is a hissy fit. This is the reaction of a little school girl.
OTS of different actors at play here, it seems.
This has to do with a crash in 2013, and likely the sanctions, as well. Two agencies seem to be at odds over the safety of them.
The Sanctions against Russia means that Boeing isn’t shipping pars, and some companies are likely “making do” with whatever they can get (from China), certified or not.
Add to that shutdown last week of Transaero, a major Russian International carrier, largely due to restrictions and revenue losses from the sanctions, as well as declining oil traffic.
With over 150 737’s flying in Russia, this is likely aimed at hitting Boeing’s revenues, as well.
Lots of turmoil in the Russian Airlines right now.
That’s what it looks like.
I see
Explosion probably cause by a faulty electrical wire running through a fuel cell.
Something that never happened before and will never happen again.
Nah!
What sensible person would believe such a contrived and obviously phony cover up for a savage muslim terrorist act of this magnitude?
Even the Russians wouldn’t try to pass off a fabricated story like that on their own citizens.
Just because Clinton did it./S
Thanks for all the info in your post 10. That makes sense.
The TWA800 cover story had me fooled for about 5 seconds until I realized that we have 100,000,000 cars built since the 1990’s in the USA which have in-tank electric fuel pumps ,,, all of which have some exposed wiring or the spade connectors on the pumps themselves and I’ve NEVER heard of a car exploding from a bad fuel pump despite far more volatile fuel...
Blame the plane.
NOT the bomb.
Riiiiight.
If the russkies admit that the terrorists bombed their plane, then Pootie Poot will be forced to make good on his bluff to nuke them. Even kgb blowhards lose their nerve now and then.
“...100,000,000 cars built since the 1990’s in the USA which have in-tank electric fuel pumps...”
And Jet A is more like diesel in that it doesn’t burn when exposed to a match...
Ok... way odd. The plane that went down was an A321 not a 737.
So why is one Russian agency, the IAC, grounding them when another agency, the Rosaviatsya, is saying only it has the power to ground aircraft? That’s where the story is, yet The Guardian avoids it.
Something stinks in Putin land.
