    While Aeroflot is a pretty crappy airline, that kind of thing would probably still have to be case-by-case. :p

    Seems to me there are less passive-aggressive ways of putting the economic hurt on Russia.

    Yeah, as much as I'd love to see the EU or the The Netherlands in particular stick it to Russia in a more direct fashion ("How about we cut you off from the AMS hub, losers!"), messing with Russia's air and airport access isn't really going to be justified. (Though I do wonder if the UN would be able to stop them).

    Actually, Ewok may be onto something. Apparently Aeroflot service was suspended in a number of countries for a time after KAL 007. I'm trying to research it but there's not much information about it, and I'm not sure how applicable the way it was done then would be to the current situation. Seems it's not without precedent though.

    In context, it sounds more like he would PM you a pic of his black anaconda. [face_hypnotized]

    And sorry about the breach in my kill zone. I was offline for 2 days and this is what happens...

    The bodies of the crash victims are now being flown out of the Ukraine.

    What worries me is that there seems to be bodies that are still unaccounted for.

    It would suck if this plane was also shot down.

    Chernobyl happened in Ukraine. Maybe she's afraid the missing bodies will be affected by lingering radiation and come back to life to prey upon the living.

    Okay, I had to laugh.

    On a serious note, my concern is more the families who are waiting for the bodies of their loved ones. I can't imagine the hell their going through and it could be made worse of it turns out bodies are missing.

    So another plane has gone missing. CNN must be salivating. At least it was flying over land, so it should be found relatively quick.

    Given the crash site, I'd say it's far more likely it's an issue with take-off, right?

    The overarching problem with that theory and it's variations is that it doesn't pass the logic test: if the plane was stuffed with corpses and fake/dated passports, then where are the REAL people who supposedly died? Paid off in witness protection somewhere? Why would anyone go about it that way? It doesn't make any sense.

    Also, the whole "cancelled" status on flight radar 24 doesn't mean the flight was cancelled. I've used that website, and the only reason it said cancelled was probably because the site doesn't have an option of applying "crashed". It doesn't mean anything.

    The planes are different. The top plane is bigger, the engine housing is bigger, and one has an exhaust port in the back where the other is lacking. The theory is flawed... The planes are different.
