yes, sad but finally something different for the networks to cover:
"Hijacked Russian airliner to land at southern Israeli army base within the hour, CNN confirms. Details soon"CNN
"Hijacked Russian airliner to land at southern Israeli army base within the hour, CNN confirms. Details soon"CNN
yeah, the CNN site should be split into halves, one half for other stuff besides the election and for the election. They keep having the poll results as their main section, time for something new.
747? I read it was a TU-154.
Commentary: All Russian/Ex-Soviet civilian aircraft suck donkey testicles. I've had the dishonor of riding in the TU-144, TU-154 and YAK-42 and it was a harrowing experience to put it mildly. The YAK-42 I was in had a mid-air engine explosion and it scared the bejesus out of me and I thought we were all done. We made it safely but the next day, the same airliner lost the engine on takeoff and crashed killing everyone aboard. Later we had to option to take a converted AN-2 military transpost. HELL NOOOOO!!!!! Lucky too since the plane lost its nose gear on take off and it skidded into a field. No one hurt but it was a hell of a sight.

"Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak postpones Washington trip to deal with hijacking of Russian jet, CNN confirms. Details soon. "
Sad, the middle east was going to get some peace too, and now this has to stop the peace talks

Windogg: Im just curious as to why u've been on all those Russian jets. Did you take a trip to Russia or something?
DarK SagE:
China to visit the land of the ancestors (before the communists came). China has a lot of Russian airplanes. The YAK-42 look like a DC9/MD80 without anysort of safety features.
Found some details on the crash. According to the database there were survivors. That's news to me.
Crash Details
It was pretty frightening because you could see the smoke rising from the airport. I was shaking pretty bad at the time.

The Hijack is an unfortunate thing, but Barak wasn't going to America for a peace talk, but a show to thanks the American for supressing the UN. Isrealis is being charge with war crimes and the hypocrite American gov is backing them.
Israel and the Occupied Territories
Uprising exposes racism in Israel
PALESTINIANS VENT RAGE AT ASSASSINATION; 5 DIE

Why are they landing in Israel? That's pretty dumb. I'd think that the Israeli commandos are second only to the US (maybe thrid with the UK 2nd). And since the US likes Israel, the Delta Force and/or Seal Team 6 are probably being moved pretty darn close to Isreal. What a dumb move by those terrorists... Let's see how pissed off we can make the US so that we all die at the hands of trained killing machines that get their jollies by killing scum like us. Sheesh.
Haha. I did fly in Tu-154. It was all right. Not like I cared when I was 5. But AN-2 is an experience on to itself. It's a biplane crop duster, 50 year old design that is used for pretty much everything from ambulance to airmail. I flew with my parents into the Caucasus mountains when I was a little kid. Flying between these peaks on a tiny airplane is something hard to forget. It's gorgeous view, but it feels like a gust of wind could smash this thing into the cliff. And after I got out I vomited like you would not believe. I was 5 years old, and I still remember. That's probably not very relevant, except that it was in Dagestan, same place where this plane was hijacked from. This is a heavily Muslim part of Russia (next to Chechnya), so I don't know who from there would want to fly to Israel. It's really bizarre.
Oh, flying in Russia is as dangerous as doing anything there: Very. I remember that one time in the news that the captain let his toddler son steer the airplane, and everyone got killed as the result. So much for take your kids to work day.

There all old planes Windog, if you had floyen in a Il-86 or Il-96, you'd realise they are just as good as any wide bodied 4 engined airliner from Airbus or McDonald Douglas/Boeing. Actually they are even better, they have more leg room & shoulder room.
BTW, you shouldn't knock the TU-144, afterall its better than any supersonic passanger/transport that the Americans have made. If you have been on the TU-144 you must be one of the few Westerners who have, as virtually its only regular run was the Alma-Ata mail run. In some ways its better than the Concorde, its got a payload at least 20% better & a range arround 30% better, due to un-compromised highspeed wings. Because of its retractable cunard foreplane, it didn't need a compromise low speed/high speed wing like the Concorde has, hence the better fuel efficiency of the Tu-144. Actually that's why the crash occurred at the Paris airshow - the French sent a spy plane up to get photos of the cunard foreplane from different angles. Well the French fighter cut in front, forcing the Russian pilot to make evasive manuevers, the engines stalled, so the pilot had to dive to restart the engines. The French finally admitted it just a year or 2 ago.

It was a fine experience no different than flying on a 747 in America.
Although one time when i was on a 737 the cabin filled up with smoke and fumes witch scared the hell out of all of us. I can pot pictures i actually took with my camera if yah guys want.
