It would be *very* tricky to fuel just 2 a/c - and no others - with
contaminated fuel.

One inadvertantly (or purposly) contaminated fuel truck could manage
that
trick quite well. But I think we would know by now.


Trouble is IRC Moscow like most airports uses pipelines to the gates
rather than refuelling trucks.


Sheremetyevo uses fuel bowsers drawn by large 8x8 cab-overs.

Not sure about Domodedovo.

The Tu134 was CCCP 65080.

The stewardess who died on this flight was the daughter of the
stewardess saved by a miracle in a crash during the 80s.

The witnesses to the crash of one of the aircraft heard three booms, then a

truth in such events, I am surprised no one has yet suggested a US submarine
caused the tragedy.



Dammit, Gordon, U.S.N. flying subs are still top secret. I'm reporting you to
the rules board of the Marblehead Yacht Club.


But what you are all trying to ignore is that the U.S.N flying subs
technology was all stolen from Nazi projects at the end of the war.

Dora-Nordhausen was so full of them they had to blow it up to conceal
the remaining subs.

Well at least you didn't spill the beans about the submersible aircraft
carriers....
Ooopss.. Damn, now I have to hunt down everyone on the NG and kill
them.
I hate it when that happens.....

The very scene I was thinking of but, no it was a crash near
Sverdlovsk caused by a fire on board and the aircraft came down in
thick forest.
