Azerbaijan Airlines crash sparks speculation plane ‘accidentally shot down by Russia’

What I read (and who knows whether it'll turn out to be true) was that the plane was off it's planned course, likely due to a birdstrike, which lead to them entering an area that was actively expecting drone attacks, which likely lead to the Russians shooting it down.

But I guess we'll see when the report comes out.

Sternly worded letter? Ineffective bleating? Or maybe they'll escalate to expelling a diplomat or two.

The tail section separated on impact. There’s a couple videos, one from the outside showing people being rescued from the tail, and one from the inside from one of the survivors.

Incredible luck
