I saw that. Perhaps the perception by the Chinese pilots and/or their ground controllers was that the bumping of the fighter was deliberate. It's the only thing that I can think of even though bumping has to be tremendously dangerous to both aircraft. Remember, too, that the Chinese had just lost one of their aircraft. The pilot was clearly in jeopardy.

There is no accounting for what can happen during these moments of high stress. We look at the events in hindsight. It seems obvious to me that the entire incident was an accident.

The US should have kept it secret. Too late now.
