Although a terrible event, tis really has no bearing on the SBVT mission nor is there much evidence yet as how it has happened. My guess would be chechnian terrorists first.

I'll be moving this to Geedunk and Scuttlebutt since it's unrelated to our purpose.

Thanks.

Just speculation but they took off 2 minutes apart, maybe the first plane had a problem, turned back to the airport, and had a mid-air with the second one. That kind of thing happens.

From what I'm hearing, Wingwiper, they crashed some 600 miles apart. To me, that nixes a mid-air.

Fox just stated that they have found the wreckage of the second plane and also that one did squawk a hijacking signal.

That and the fact that the elections are coming up...

And there was just a bomb in Moscow yesterday by the Chechnyen fascisti...

This one is so far screaming "terror act," to me.

The first report I read was inaccurate, then. Sorry for any possible confusion.

Coming out of Russia, the news is pretty slim still. We really don't kow what is going on just yet, but I would think Al Qeada would leave them alone, unless they have started supporting Chechneya. Right now, it's anybodies guess.
