my question is (and i haven't heard anybody say this in the media and am quite amazed that they haven't) how does a slow moving 4 engine prop plane bring down a highly manueverable fighter jet unless that jet gets too close and runs into them? china makes it sound like the US plane picked out this poor little fighter and rammed it.. LOL

the outrage would no doubt have been great

Oh, come on. If a Chinese plane made an emergency landing on U.S. soil, the crew would be sent home within days.

The plane, however, would never be returned.
This is what I expected from the start of this episode...the Chinese have surprised me with their attitude.
