Default Russian crashes???

anyone know what's happened or more info..
as i get it so far both planes took off from the same airport.
both crashed within 3 mins of each other
one was 100 miles from Moscow, the other 600
one plane gave a hijack message, i think the airline also got a phone warning.
both recorders were recovered, but too badly damaged to tell anything
authorities currently say it was a air law violation


now, 3 mins within each other says mid air, but 500 miles separation?
hijack.. they both crash within 3 mins?
damaged black boxes, what both? totally? don't buy it, i saw wreckage on TV, some large bits, thats always good for black box survival.

has anyone seen the wreckage on TV? close or spread out, could it be a military cock up/cover up?


90 lives lost in a tragic way, but right now it doesnt all add up.

I just saw a report quoting a Russian official saying that traces of explosives were found in the wreckage of one of the planes. Also, a group named the Islambouli Brigade has claimed responsibility.

also heard today about Chechan rebels

just like the IRA used to when the spotlight is taken away, by Al Quaida at the moment, they have to let everyone know their still about.

still strange one plane mannaged to get a warning out, must have been someone on board with a bomb.
both rebels must have timed the attack hence the 3 mins seperation.
