The odds of that being the case are extremely long however. The odds of it being a fuel problem are even more remote. Brooks Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Hexogen explosive traces found in the Tu-154 wreck (confirmed/ reported from
Russia). One Chechenian women suspected since nobody asked for her (speculation). Islambouli Brigades allegedly took responsibility. Nele NULLA ROSA SINE SPINA |

Islambouli Brigades allegedly took responsibility. Widely disbelieved - they have taken responsability for a lot of other things in the past, which were later proven to be bogus.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired more than the unlikely odds of an aircraft crashing multiplied by two. if the odds of being in an aircraft crash are in excess of 14 million to one, the odds of two aircraft departing the same airport on the same day, within 40 minutes of each other, both involving inflight catastrophic loss. i have no idea how many zero's the odds would involve ! |

f the odds of being in an aircraft crash are in excess of 14 million
to one, the odds of two aircraft departing the same airport on the same day, within 40 minutes of each other, both involving inflight catastrophic loss. i have no idea how many zero's the odds would involve ! The odds have now become moot, with the announcement that explosive residue has been found among the debris. Its inevitable that the other impact site will reveal some similar agent at work. We're counting angels on the head of a pin while Islamist 'soldiers' strike civilians the world over - I have no doubt they will be found to be the culprits in this case. During the Yugoslav wars of succession, I supported the hard-pressed Muslim civilians and I still do. But when I pass a middle eastern man on the street, I see him now as a potential enemy soldier, someone to be wary of. That this alienates me from a billion of my fellow men bothers me, however I understand we are at war. These airliners were downed by enemy action. |
