Seems to me that the image of the supposed blackhawk being pulled from the river looks rather unscathed for something that smashed into another aircraft at intercept speed.
Yeah, I'm sure it has some armor at the very least.
Nope.
Was just comparing the profile and realized this image looks like part of the passenger plane left wing, behind or merged with wreckage of presumably the chopper.
Sorry, this image.
Side by side.
Yes, it sure looks like it.
Military buys a contractors "$500" hammer and kicks some back to the purchasing agent.
I suspect that the contractors will often just offer the purchasing agent a "gift" like a nice house somewhere, or whatever works. Kickback of some form one way or another.
Part of the reason of such cost overruns is that the contractors, in order to win a bid, have to "sweeten" the bid.
Also, one report I saw/heard was, that the depth of the water at the crash site is about 8ft. So not all that deep if correct.
I have a feeling that the BOOM BOOMs are going to be a rolling barrage.
The rounds have already been fired. They are inbound. Nothing can stop them at this point. Waiting for impact. Splash!
Palestine in not, nor has it ever been an actual country. It was originally the term used by the Romans after they got mad at the Hebrews for acting up all the time, and changed it from Judea to Palestine after thye old Hebrew enemies the Philistines. Palestine is just the word Philistine, in a different language.
That's called his head.
You should add the post where I point out the wing in the background.
