Re: " I do not see how you could "intentionally" make this scenario happen. This was a freakish incident that you could only be repeated on a movie screen." Do you fly planes? I've been a pilot for 33 years.. bumping a plane in flight is dangerous but its not that difficult to do. If the jet was lurking behind and under at about the same speed, nudging the larger aircraft to cause it to land isn't probable but possible. Remember the pilot was known to have made too many passes at other planes in the past.. maybe he was ambitious like Tom Cruise in Top Gun to prove something. I'm not saying that's how it happened, or why.. but without shooting how would anyone force another plane down without intentionally ramming it. Ramming it makes no sense because its a suicide mission and you lose all potential of examining the US plane. The collison was soft enough to cause flyable structural damage, close enough to a Chinese airbase .. unfortunately for the Chinese pilot, his plane or ability to recover from a stall wasn't.
