I played with this last evening. Using a 6 inch telescope, I can see airliners flying at cruise altitude 30-40 miles away, in better quality than the alleged ISIS video. I can even take pictures...

If they can film the explosion at all (which most certainly can't be done with a cell phone and requires either a serious video camera with a 300 mm + telephoto lens, or a telescope), they can handle...

My point is not that technical complexity of such a job is beyond the reach of a modern day terrorist, it's mainly that, in this situation, cooking up functional remote detonation is what Russians...

Not sure about exploding poop, but there was an incident in the 80s that involved a guy flushing a live hand grenade in an aircraft lavatory. The explosion punctured the APB and severed two out of...

We have difficulties explaining the outcome either way. It's hard for a bomb in the passenger compartment to cause VS failure directly, and it's also unlikely that standalone HS/VS failure would lead...

You realize that the VS in tail wreckage pics is bent at a 90 degree angle, right?

OK, I've realized my mistake. I was assuming that the tail cone is upright (and I guess there's no reason it should be). But it's actually on its side, and we're looking at what used to be the top,...
