I wonder how the EU would handle that considering the potential for more refugees. This is going to get bad, and I'm waiting for the theories that Russia planted the bomb so they could attack on a large scale.Some seem to think that Putin will unleash a relentless bombing campaign that will leave northern Syria and Iraq virtually depopulated.
I texted him the picture before I answered, and his response was, "I'm getting older, not blind". He has flown everything from transport, Airbus, but now is a captain on a 190. He likes his seniority and the routes, so he won't go back to the airbus until our youngest graduates. He thinks bomb, and reiterated that's why we don't fly out of certain places. His dad was an Air Force one pilot, retired from Boeing, and flew the Shah of Iran for a while before everything went down there. So, I'm trying to get him on the phone, but he's old and goes to bed early, lol.

Dockins-I'm getting older, not blind"great line!!
As I get more educated on political junk fine let Russia try to kill the hell out of ISIS obvioulsy we have failed , like are any of us here thinking oh no dont hurt Isis - so then the question is why is this bad? Sounds awful but valid question IMO, or no?
I have seen this line before that all this ruckus is not from anything at the crash scene but intel. Ok,from the beginning they wanted credit. They know they are being monitered.
So why not get on a cell and talk like they did it - it appears all of this is from phone interactions , if I wanted someone to beleive I stole hotdogs, why not get on the phone with someone else and brag about taking hotdosgs,
Its like a bell rang that is why they all are saying intel, not recorders etc am i stupid for just getting this now!? And they are waiting to see if anything as far as wreckage, medical examiner, etc to confirm the intel..................
So they have been taking credit but their quote is we will when we feel like it tell you how we did , if I want you to think I took hotdogs, and I supposedly can prove it why not tell you now how I did it and can prove it??
BUT govt officials cant take the risk that another plane load of humans die ............
if I want everyone to think I am a hotdog theif,,,,kinda like a play ......Msnbc explained it to me where I got it -- noone is saying anything from the wreckage or any recorder data indicates a bomb..............they got all hysterical because they heard people on cell phones talking about doing it ... big difference huh?
They have "claimed" but have given no "proof'............. while we are at it, why not make the call sound like it was an inside job..............airport folks.................that certainly makes it more scary for civilians does it not ?
THAt makes sense , casue the scene looks nothing like a bomb and it just is so not that hard, by looking at the wreckage --is their damage outwards, thats it........and if you see outward you get out some chemicals and it says boom......its just not that hard
its almost like a play on wsord ,, we never have said their is on the ground evidence, but if god forbid another jetliner ends up the same way they can say we took actions.......................
all this airport security not ok at airport, well of course after over 200 people are blown out of the sky to their deaths , pretty safe in the moment to conclude security did not work , but at another level hindsight in any sitution is always easier ,,,IMO
We knew on Pan AM quick , TWA stalled because that plane had been used for traiining dogs to smell explosives so it threw the whole thing off
during exercises to train bomb-detection dogs the month before the crash

Putin's Dilemma: How To Respond If A Bomb
Caused Sinai Air Crash
The potential for a bomb was only one reason he gave. He said the equipment is older, and the condition of repairs can be questionable by our standards. Also, you don't need the training our pilots do. But he basically just thinks too many accidents happens with planes in Russia and Africa. There are many pilot forums, and the opinions run the gamut. He thinks bomb because of the news reports, not the plane itself.
Hubby is actually flying now, so I will ask when he gets home. I just texted an enlarged pic of the area in question. We actually have a 4-seater Cherokee that my 16 year old flies that has been flying solo for about a year, and he even said no way. But, I have heard my husband tell stories about customers who call for him at the gate to explain dents, or Stuff they think they are seeing on the aircraft. He says a lot of times what you see from a window (or picture) perhaps isn't how it looks when you are right there at it. Reflections, etc.Dockins-
Solely by the pic would he refuse to fly that particular plane?
I understand money in resurces etc, . But in their job (like compared to used car salesman! They are going down with the ship..
It so befuddles - area also looked dirty --it is that darn crack ! I would not eat an egg that looked that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just cant wrap my little brain around it nor that the media has done little with the video of it -I discovered it on Sky news in video format ealier link, so at least they are reporting it to public.
If I was in airport, even knowing I am not boarding, I could not help but mention to the gate agent, humm, excuse me, after getting their name()! are you aware that the top half of your jetliner is cracking apart,and your stablizer appears to be rusting away (!)- - do you think that might be a concern for someone around here?!?!!?
!
And hey, if hubby ever wants to hang here I am confident he would be busy even if he only wanted to do a short time!
WHo can help us more, I ask!
European investigators have reached the conclusion that there was a bomb on the plane. Flight data recorder shows no signs of mechanical failure. The explosion can actually be heard on the audio recovered. Per Brooke Baldwin/CNN
US and UK have turned over their intel to the Russians to assist with the investigation. Putin's decision to suspend flights came after he reviewed the intel.
I feel terrible for the brits that are still stranded. What a frustrating and scary experience to go through.
