Bollocks. 2 months and a day, if my arithmetic is correct.
And the UN building is on Rockaway Beach is it? News to me.

Yes, we will get to the bottom of this, accident or otherwise. That, 
however, is the job of the investigators at the NTSB and other agencies. 
Uninformed speculation like this just panics the public and serves no 
purpose.

The airliner over the black sea was shot down by the Ukrainians by mistake, 
as they admitted the next day.

Wow. Have you told the FAA this? It will take them weeks to come to a 
conclusion like that.

It's the truth. I know it doesn't seem like it just now, but you have more 
chance of popping your clogs as you cycle round the town or on the drive to 
the airport.

I couldn't agree more. Let's just mourn the dead and wait for the facts to 
emerge in due course. They always do.

Sorry if this post has been a little sharp.
