And this is why I don't read Daily Beast or HuffPo.

Structural failure does not result in both engines being blown off their mounts or turbines ejected. It takes serious, explosive force to do something like that to BOTH engines.

No, but these people are http://www.flightradar24.com/, which is where I'm getting my info.

The Daily Beast writer certainly isn't.

It's also very suspicious that there was no emergency broadcasts from the pilots. Even if the flight "broke up" from structural damage, they should have had time to at least make a single attempt to relay their situation.

There's no official story on the black box voice data. Supposedly it's damaged. Supposedly it's not damaged. Supposedly it stops abruptly. Too much confusion about it right now, possibly intentionally so.

Yea, structural failure doesn't actually have anything to do with the structural integrity?????

High speed, turbulence combined with structural failure and explosive fuel could do all that and more.

No, it really couldn't. It takes a ton of force to knock an engine off it's mount and just about the same to have the turbine separate. Is it possible from jet-fuel? Yes. Is it possible to have it affect both engines, symmetrically? It would be an unprecedented scenario.

Russians don't really give a fuck about the Middle East at all. They have oil, they want to stop using oil and turn to electric cars and renewables.

Russians hear "ISIS bombed Russian plane" Russians say "Why the fuck are we wasting time in the Middle East". They don't realize that America will send ISIS to Russia once Assad is taken care of.

Really? That seems very far fetched...Do you really believe that the U.S. has that kind of control over ISIS. IF ISIS were to defeat Assad why would they care what the U.S. wanted or asked? Is it more likely that they would become an instant enemy and Major threat to the U.S if they were to succeed in toppling Assad? Also its cold in Russia, many of their fighters would simply defect or leave as soon as the demoralization of battle and weather set in. Russia is not easily defeated, and would never go the route of Germany, as we can see from simply looking at their history...

Obviously the people that we want to have done it did it.
