What annoys me is this sentence;
"According to the news site's Arabic channel, eight shots were fired into the small plane".

I love it how this region looses all sense of perception and only Big, Bigger, Biggest counts. It's a bloody 79 tonne aircraft carrying 189 passengers. Everywhere in the normal world it's a reputable aircraft but here it's deemed too 'small'.

Reminds me of a passenger I met in this region that didn't want to fly on the regional aircraft I was flying because it was too small. (E190 flying the same speed and altitudes) I met him when he got of and he thanked me for one of the best flights of his life...

I guess if you can't put your fridge in the overhead locker the plane's too small...
