• AP on Prigozhin plane disaster with its 10 people onboard, and the BBC

    So let me enter the fray of why this plane plummeted to Earth.

    We see footage of the plane.

    And it is possible to do it slow motion and see if the plane is intact during the fall to Earth.

    Ros Atkins gives these 4 causes: (1) a bomb (2) surface to air missile (3) missile from fighter jet (4) plane mechanical failure.

    Since we have video footage of the plane falling from sky, we slow motion and see the plane is all together which rules out bomb, rules out surface to air missile rules out fighter jet missile.

    It does not rule out mechanical failure.

    And it is easy to make a mechanical error by say, making the fuel run out, or mechanically doing something that causes that sort of vertical drop from the sky.

    It is reasonable to think, if we have a video of a plane ready to crash, that we can determine the cause solely from that video.

    Do we have a video of John Denver's plane crash? Where his fuel ran out and whether his plane dropped from the sky vertically much the same as Prigozhin's plane? For the story on John Denver is that the plane manufacturer made a fuel tank switch that
    Denver had to turn around to his back to switch the fuel tank but he already was in trouble.

    So why bother with bombing or missile strike, when the plane sitting on the ground for over a month, it is easy for a rogue to go and sabotage the plane, perhaps make a hole into the fuel, so it drains out.

    Nay, drilling a hole in fuel tank would be noticed by the pilot, as not a full tank.

    A better sabotage is putting "sugar" into the fuel, where slowly it freezes up the moving components.
