Anons. Richard B. Russell and the USS Richard B. Russell? They saved the best for last? Magnificent barrel roll. No video of the crash though? Did we see his body and confirm it was the Richard B. Russell we're told it was? I'm having great difficulty buying this story. I think our pilot is a patriot and has not perished. This whole thing was a distraction of epic proportion.

In fact it's this: a FINAL message. "Q has you all over a barrel" and "you're going to crash and burn" and "you should happily commit suicide as depicted in the radio chat between Richard and the tower and take it like a man."
