Russian plane 'exploded' before crash
October 4, 2001 Posted: 10:26 AM EDT (1426 GMT)


MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- A Russian plane flying 77 people from Israel to Russia exploded before crashing into the Black Sea, Russian officials have said.

Israel, which operates some of the most stringent aviation safety measures, has cancelled all take-offs from Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv as a result.

The Siber Airlines Tu-154 nose-dived into the Black Sea at about midday on Thursday during a flight from Tel Aviv to the Siberian city of Novosibirsk.

Indeed, the Mafiya is putting its house in order... and getting rid of those who cashed in on their (Sept 11th) insider info.

Excerpted from my post #4372:

Contrariwise, stockmarket shenanigans perfectly fit the Russian mafiya mindset: Russian mobsters are in for money. The sudden increase in short interest and put options on airline stocks is an important giveaway for the FBI. It further shows that the whole hijacking scheme was initially devised as a low-key hijacking operation: Russian insiders wouldn't have taken the risk to speculate beforehand on the wipe-out of the WTC and the Pentagon --WAY TOO RISKY. However, they got screwed (by Masood's last-minute change) as well: they pushed their luck to pocket a quick profit on the side and... ended up with hot money they won't even have the time to stash away before the CIA or their Moscow associates snuff them out...
