All,
Perhaps we could all tone it down a bit and treat this incident just like any other flight incident/accident. Later on, after an investigation, the facts will come out, even if it is considered a "national security" issue at the moment.
I'm sure most pilots here can understand what I'm saying, we all know of plenty of incidents where the facts seem so clear from the outset, yet what really happened was completely different. This point is directly aimed at some here, including those with claimed weapons experience, regarding "trigger pulls". The real story will come out. We aren't dealing with nuclear warhead design secrets.
For the rest of the lot, just continue your preconceived political rants, and put the hamster wheel into overdrive.
