The Russia Disaster

This is terrible. The former superpower, Russia has suffered a disaster. A major security flaw may have lead to terrorist activity. Two planes went down at approximately the same time. Curious. But Russia claims to be having very tight security. That seems good, but the disaster is terrible. They must figure out why to prevent another plane from mysteriously crashing.

That is if it is mysterious. It could very well be a terrorist organization at it again just like they did on September 11th. Sure there were less casualties, but it was on an airplane, so they're pointing a finger at al-qaeda.

But some insist it may not be terrorism, just an accident.

It's terrible no matter what, and it's likely both can be prevented in the future. Hopefully they will. I'll try to give you information when I get it.

The jury is still out on this. of course it is very suspicious that both planes went down at the same time, which suggest terrorist. However terrorist doesn't always equal Al Qaeda. I understand the Chechens (sp?) have denied responsibility.

We may never know. you can't believe anything you read from Russian "offical" news sources and the gov't, much like our own, is never going to admit that don't have adequet security.
