MYSTERY IN THE SKY - WTF? - MH370 & MH17 & QZ8501 & More
(11-02-2015, 11:06 PM)HairOfTheDog Wrote: Russian Plane Crash -- Inconsistencies, Questions, Mystery

Based on initial reports/statements, I thought the Russian plane over the Sinai might have gone down under less mysterious circumstances than the other recent plane wrecks. I was wrong.

[Image: egypt-russian-plane-crash.jpg]

-It turns out that the pilot didn't radio about being in distress and readying for an emergency landing, as was originally reported (according to the airline).

-The Russian co-pilot's wife says her husband complained about the plane being in bad condition a couple of months ago; the airline says it has no record of any complaints and the plane was in good condition.

-The airline Kogalymavia (Metrojet) was reportedly having financial problems and hadn't paid the staff in two months.

-ISIS claimed responsibility right after the plane went down, asserting it was retaliation for Russia's troops intervening in Syria. Authorities in Russia and Egypt initially downplayed the claim as false/propaganda -- now authorities in all countries are saying it can't be ruled out, though there is no evidence of terrorist attack at this time.

-Russia has long been concerned about Islamic militant attacks against it. The Russians have fought a long-running Islamic insurgency in Chechnya, where two women armed with hand grenades destroyed two separate domestic flights in 2004.

-The plane broke apart in the air, based on the debris scattering -- that seems to be agreed upon by all.

-Egyptian authorities say ISIS in the Sinai doesn't have the weapons to hit a plane at such high altitude, but they can't yet rule out someone bringing a bomb on-board.

-The 18-year-old Airbus A321-200 had flown just 57,000 hours of its 120,000-hour life span, according Metrojet Deputy Director Averianov, adding that this was not an “extraordinary” age compared with other European and Russian fleets. He also dismissed the tail strike as an issue.

-Egyptian authorities claim they've almost completed collection of the remains of the 224 passengers and crew.

So basically, nothing has been ruled in or ruled out (though the airline's statements make it appear that the problem could not have been technical in nature or due to pilot error).

There was talk today of heat signatures that were picked up by a satellite which is believed to be a smoking gun indicating a terrorist attack if the right number of signatures are confirmed.
