[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll confess to not reading the entire thread but jumped in on pg. 14, not 16. Just saw the news on the crash site. The plane was ...descimated. There were no plane-like parts to be recognized.

I think it was shot down. If it was, will we ever know? [/quote]
I don't think the Air Force would have any problem confirming that they shot the plane down. The pilot and passengers were already dead, and it posed a threat to people on the ground if it landed somewhere populated.

There is no reason to believe it was shot down. It didn't have enough fuel to get back to TN. [/quote]

They specifically said they did not shoot it down.

I’m a tiny bit skeptical about that because it conveniently crashed in an isolated site, where nobody else would be hurt, which is good. I’m not saying shooting it down was a bad choice either because I could’ve caused many more deaths.

This, I don't think it was shot down but if it was, I really don't care. Pilot and passengers had probably been dead for several hours at that point and it would've caused so much death and destruction if it had landed in say, downtown Staunton as opposed to the forest.

Payne Stewart's plane conveniently landed in a rural area, as well. Just luck I suppose.[/quote]
And I should add, in the Payne Stewart crash, they thought it was going to enter Canadian airspace, and the Canadian PM had already given his Air Force orders to shoot the plane down if it did. [/quote]
