El Al Pilot Reported Missile Explosion Next to Plane

(IsraelNN.com) An El Al pilot reported what appeared to be a surface-to-air missile exploding next to a flight. The plane was heading from Tel Aviv to Russia. The flight landed without incident in Moscow.

El Al officials reported with certainty the plane was not in military airspace, but in a regular international commercial lane.

Apology, I said it was an El Al plane, you are right it was from Russia. However it flew from Israel, and seems to have been chartered by an Israeli concern. The whole story of the accident was rather odd. Especially as this seems to have been followed by another "accident". I agree with the poster who suggested that the Ukranian office who took responsibility for the first "accidental" shoot down has probably been quietly pensioned off by now.

"slightly reminiscent of the long "S" sound in Arabic ... " Maybe, but in the Arabic language the word is Yehud, (plural), with the characteristic HHHHH, to the H, which only native Arabic and Hebrew speakers can do properly.

At this point, if you said the sky was blue, I'd open the window and look before I'd believe you.

Yes, isn't it wonderful how the many islamic Algerians have added spice to the lives of the French. Diversity is a wonderful thing, especially when you bring in tons of muslims who rob, kill, vandalize and blow up the metros. This person got to experience some of that in the mid-ninties.

A few years ago I stayed with a family in Frankfurt. I spoke no German, although I spoke a little Dutch which is similar, and the family spoke no English. The father, who was a kid in WWII, took special delight in showing me before and after aerial photos of Frankfurt. The before pictures were before the Americans bombed, the after photos were after the Americans bombed. You could tell he was still angry and still hates Americans because of it. I felt like telling him I was born long after that, that I had nothing to do with bombing Frankfurt.

People sure do hold on to grudges for a long time.

I should add the French islamic Algerians don't discriminate. They hate all non-muslims equally, whether they are French Jews or French Gentiles. I should also add that not all French Algerians are islamic fanatics.

It was probably just a short in the fuel tank.

Based on your postings around the place, and on the fact that you seem inclined to continue your baiting by means of rather bizarre and pointless freepmails, I have a question for you.

Are you a poster who has been here before under the nicks "JauntyBeesting" and "The Exhorter"?

No.BTW,how does it feel to be called a "Bolshevik" by one of the posters here?

Just think … if the missile had hit the plane, the FBI and NTSB would have their corroborating “evidence” of another defective fuel tank explosion.

Don't sputter, balkan :).

They are now, at least if you want to carry out a conversation with me.

A couple more points, since the nature of your posts and behaviour aren't the only things that points towards ol' JauntyBeesting/Exhorter. There's also the fact that your professed background seems to match up pretty good with what he claimed, and the fact that he, too, was a Balkans boy.

Talked to Objet'dArt lately, over there on LF?

We're still buying tickets to fly on skeets.

I don't remember the source's name, but he is a retired Special Forces weapons instructor. He told me that for some time El Al has had anti-air (SAM) defense systems on board their airliners. We are still debating, behind closed doors, this "political over safety" issue even after TWA 800 fell victim to a SAM, likely a Stinger-B or Chinese knock-off. I have not read the TWA 800 "accident report", which did not ground immediately all 747s if fuel tank wiring were actually the ascertained cause of its mid-air explosion.

Our economic strength is their goal. Only out of a world-wide depression can Pan-Islam conquor mankind. China's looming international banking crisis will contribute to theo-fascists' plan without commie-fascists having to fire a shot at Taiwan. We are under attack.

A poor Russian emigre to Israel makes good. Minin becomes friends with Taylor, the "President" of Liberia and helps the country which took him in:

Liberian Diplomat to Israel in Mideast With "Blood Diamond"

Americans Finally Link Taylor to Al Qaeda

Arms Trafficker Leonid Efirmovich Minin, Taylor Partner Busted in Italy

And what would Rivero have to say? Just more stupidity. Get a clue. Rivero is a dope who spews anti American trash. He must be a sixties leftover. If you like him you must be stupid too. Or you are a closet commie.

US maneuvers? You are a goof. If you had any experience at all with missile ops you would know how impossible what you imply is. You need to get back to your buddies at DU.

Call some more reinforcements,since I'm "sputtering" soooooo badly here.

I believe that I already gave you an unequivical "no" to your direct question in reference to these other posters("JauntyBeesting/Exhorter"),but by all means,rant on.It's actually a bit humorous to watch you aimlessly flail away on me.

Talked to Objet'dArt lately, over there on LF?

No,and I don't recall ever talking to anyone with that name.Maybe you and your cohorts can fabricate some more "evidence".

This possibility has been discussed EXTENSIVELY at a number of venues, including right here at FR. You have a problem with discussing things? Maybe YOU should go somewhere where discussion isn't permitted. Cuba, China, etc. etc.

PS: I am a conservative. You are obviously a close-minded jerk.

BTW,it would seem that the following post was directed at you,care to comment?

There appear to be some on this forum who do not believe in Free Speech. Freedom of speech keeps a country strong. When some people on this forum don't like what somewhat else has to say, they resort to name calling. It seems as if they only want their point of view to be expressed, and all other points of view are "hate crimes". We must never give in to that, as to bury truth spells doom for all of us. This is a very traditional bolshevik ploy.
