Russian plane explodes in flight

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

KIEV, Ukraine ““ The Ukrainian Defense Ministry denied Thursday any of its
forces fired a rocket which could have hit the Russian aircraft that exploded
and crashed into the Black Sea.

A senior U.S. military official in Washington said the plane may have been
downed by a surface-to-air missile fired during a military exercise in
Ukraine. Russian officials were investigating the possibility of a terrorist
attack.

All the rockets used in the training exercise have “self-destruction
mechanisms in case they deviated from their course,” said Defense Minister
Oleksandr Kuzmuk, according to a statement released by ministry spokesman
Kostyantyn Khivrenko.

The Tu-154 aircraft was en route from Tel Aviv, Israel, to the Siberian city
of Novosibirsk. It was carrying 76 people, according to Sibir Airlines, from
which it was chartered.
