I am surprised by the relative paucity of comments about the rocket attack against the Israeli airplane.

Thanksgiving my friend... Thanksgiving... Football and Good Eats Galore!!

And I was waiting for more information about what type of rockets were used, SA-7(+), or an attempt to use an RPG-7 anti-tank rocket (as in Somalia)..

Those passengers were extremely lucky!! Possibly to the point of divine intervention... :0)

They fired two SA-7 heat-seeking missiles at a point when the jet was emitting maximum heat output during takeoff...

Yet they missed...

Don't count on that continuing to be the case in the future...

There will be more attempts like this...
