As long as the plane stayed facing the wind, heat and smoke were being pulled away from the passenger compartment, as well as the wings. That last little slide, the plane went sideways to the wind. That probably cost some of the lives that were lost. That was a bad break, in an already bad situation.

Won't they have a show trial first? Which takes time. But then the poeple mysteriously are found dead for unknown reasons, and the trial, and related expenses are cancelled.

That was Soviet Russia. This is Putin's Russia, whichever oligarch hasn't shown Putin enough respect recently will be accused of corruption and found to be behind it in some way, followed by a lengthy jail sentence and Putin or one of his cronies taking over their business empire.

Hey, it's like getting TV personalities elected in countries previously opposed to you, or giving Russian passports to people in countries you're likely to "visit" soon.

Curious that this comes in as a Runaway1949 submission, the same year as the Communist take over of the Chinese Mainland, however many Runaway may think that is, since he is ignorant. Runaway, allegedly a Arkansasian dirt-farmer, and low level support for some unamed major factory in Nashville, posts in depth and recent informatin on a Russian plane crash? What are the odds, I ask you? Is it not more likely the case that the Runaway, instead of #runaway -ing, is in fact a Russian unregistered agent of influence, much like Martina, but not nearly as good looking. Runaway, you have been outed! The NARC list is exposed! Go to protocol 9, as quick as you can. We can protect you no longer.
And being outed as a Russian spy, in Arkansas, may God have mercy on your soul. The Ferrets are the least of your worries.

May I suggest that you 1) stop antagonizing Janrinok and 2) submit stories in the future *without* the puerile editorializing? We need a counterbalancing voice to the rising tide of alt-right sludge in here, but you need to be a bit more mature about it if you hope to be that voice.

Thank you, but I have no problem with comments. The way to counter comments is to use intellect and moderation, in that order.
You do not counter the 'alt-right' comments by giving the opposing view favoured submission privileges. Comments are countered by better comments. All submissions are viewed on their own merit. If you submit a 'Politics' story, or indeed any story - of whatever position you want to take on the political spectrum - then it will be judged by the usual requirements. Will it create an intelligent discussion, is it of interest to the majority of our community, is it new and is it relevant? It should also meet our guidelines as much as possible although the editors will help here. If it fails to meet these requirements then probably it will not be accepted.

If that's truly a primary goal of this site, I have no clue why ANY politics stories are allowed here. Seriously.
I'm barely holding on here as a user. As far as I can see, you allow politics stories because they generate the MOST discussion, because they get people arguing at all each other. "Intelligent" is a far secondary goal, and we seem to pick up the same dynamics as the Green site -- the libertarian faction, the faction that wants to yell about "SJWs" at any opportunity, the left and right extremists, etc.
Perhaps this is the only way a site like this can survive, since there's relatively small discussion on most serious science stories, etc. So, okay, we have politics articles. But let's not pretend a primary reason is to create "intelligent" discussion. (And if it is, it's mostly an abject failure.)
(Note also that my complaints are directed at ALL sides. I took a break from the site last week for a while after I got incensed that a left-wing comment responding to a right-wing troll poster got modded up significantly... Except in this particular case, the right-wing troll actually posted a factually accurate informative post, while the liberal response was cherry picking bullshit data. I more frequently agree with the "left" because reality is usually more in tune with leftist claims, but I can't stand to see either side posting utter bullshit and getting modded up here. In this case, there were links from both posters too... Clearly no moderators followed them though...)

I agree entirely, but the community argued for their inclusion during the last US election, We don't cover elections elsewhere but the US election was deemed to be 'special' for some reason that completely escapes me. We do try to limit them (the last one was about a week ago despite receiving more and more biased politics submissions with each passing day). They still have to meet our guidelines and rules to be selected.

Too true.
Did you see the latest news, that Boeing somehow thought all 737 MAX planes had an AoA "disagree" indicator?
So now Boeing's defense is that they're not sure what they're delivering to customers? Caveat emptor?
