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

I disagree with this for sure... there a deaths involved, you don't think anyone would want to question the crew?? Bring in the interpreters, etc??

<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.>

The U.S. has surprised me as well... I mean a sophisticated plane goes down in China and we don't want them crawling all over it??? LOL

oh well, the crew would have been 'de-briefed' (read: interrogated) and THEN sent home...i suppose China is doing the same. and i do expect them to send the crew back home soon...after they have found out whatever they expect to find out from them.

besides, i find it rather doubtful that they rammed the plane accidentally, as just discussed. looks more like a deliberate act to me, although that will of course never be proven out one way or the other.
