Just when I thought my all too short holiday, “vacation…from my problems!” was somewhat turbulent. The horrific Christmas Day footage of a plane crash in Kazakhstan began trending. Then, as tragedies often do, it put my minuscule troubles into perspective. What was first believed to be a freak accident ended up taking the lives of more than half of the crew and passengers on board. However, now it seems to be just another preventable and deadly mistake that can be traced back to Russia’s unjust military aggression in the region. So since I am back at the helm of this ship, let’s steer clear of all the bullshit disinformation online and navigate towards the truth of what happened.
According to the propagandists at Russian State Run Media, inclement weather and bird strikes were the two major causes for this Azerbaijani jet fleeing Russian airspace peppered with munition holes. Yet when you watch the flight’s path via the Flightradar24 app, you’ll notice the start of the aircraft’s route seems normal. That’s until the plane enters Russian airspace over the Republic of Dagestan. That’s when the GPS tracking of the flight is jammed, which can be done remotely and intentionally. Then, the plane reappears again on the radar at the location of the “incident” and seems to circle the area deep within Russian territory. Then the flight goes offline again and doesn’t resurface till it’s clearly out of Russian airspace just off the shores of Kazakhstan. That is where the red icon first appears, indicating the pilot is sending an emergency distress signal.
What I’m about to say is purely speculation on my part. After I reviewed the evidence, I have a theory that will either be confirmed or refuted by the black box data recovered from the wreckage. Now, if I were a commercial pilot and my communications were jammed, and my aircraft was struck by Russian air defense systems. I would immediately shut off my transponder (This can only be done onboard), then immediately high-tail it out of Russian airspace and head somewhere safe to land, preferably in another country. Especially If I thought it would be in Russia’s best interest to make this military mishap disappear altogether. This would also explain why the plane seemingly vanished and reappeared on the Kazakhstan coastline with an emergency beacon triggered. You might think the best decision would have been to land somewhere inside Russia. That’s unless risking crossing the sea with a severely damaged airplane was the necessary maneuver for the safety of all those on board. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Not to mention, any commercial pilot flying in that wartorn region knows the history Russia has of covering up accidental military takedowns of passenger flights. We might find out that the last decision made by the courageous pilots of this doomed aircraft was to get the evidence of Russian military aggression out of Russia ASAP. The fact that anyone survived this catastrophic crash is truly a Christmas miracle. Sadly, it’s a tragedy that could have been easily avoided if not for Vladimir Putin’s egomaniacal reunification plans for the USSR and his apologists around the globe overlooking his reign of terror.
Today’s Palate Cleanser is about the overly addictive and informative app referenced multiple times in this article called Flightradar 24. It tracks every single commercial, private, or military flight worldwide. Not only does it provide live info on planes, helicopters, hang gliders, hot air balloons, drones, and who knows, perhaps UFOs too. I have had the free version of the app for a few years now, and I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent live tracking unique flights across the globe. Including American hostages being flown out of Russia to Turkey before ultimately being released even before the media knew their final location. Air Force One or Trump’s private jet flying to and from any number of historical events. I’ve also watched daily military exercises throughout Georgia and the Gulf region, where dozens of Black Hawk, Apache Choppers, and F-16s performed extreme maneuvering. You can also watch American drones surveilling the boundaries of NATO territory as they protect against the same Russian aggression that downed flight AHY J2-8243 in Kazakhstan. I can’t recommend this app enough. If you’re interested in watching a loved one’s flight travel safely to its destination or simply passing the time by creeping on one of the thousands of aircraft around the world. I promise you won’t regret downloading Flightradar 24.
