But as the color > photos further down this page show only too well, the > Tupolev 154 and Boeing 757 are completely different in > design. The engines, wings and undercarriage are > different, as are the tail assemblies and even the > cabin windows. > To decide for ourselves whether the > Bashkirian TU-154 really did collide in mid air as > claimed, or was the victim of foul play, we will have > to examine the available evidence far more carefully. > First, who initially stated that the TU-154 collided > with a Boeing 757? One of the first was DHL Europe, > who issued the following statement:
>"Brussels (1 July 2002) - At approximately > 0050LT today, a Boeing 757 registration number A9CDHL > operated by DHL International EC, en route from > Bahrain to Brussels was involved in an accident over > the city of Ueberlingen on Lake Constance (Southern > Germany).
>"A collision occurring between the DHL cargo > plane and a Russian Tupolev passenger aircraft, > operated by Bashkirian airlines, registered RA85816, > has resulted in many casualties. The DHL aircraft was > crewed by two pilots, a British national and a > Canadian national, both based in Bahrain. There were > no other people on board the DHL craft. During this > difficult time our thoughts are with the families and > friends of those who have either lost their lives or > been seriously injured in such tragic circumstances.
>"It is too early to comment on the possible > cause of the accident. At this time there is no > indication of any technical or potential problems with > the DHL craft. An investigation is underway and DHL is > working with the Air Investigation Branch of the Civil > Aviation Authority. DHL will release further > information as it becomes available."

> > Fine so far. DHL in Europe knew its Boeing > 757 had departed Bahrain on schedule, and clearly at > that stage believed it had collided with the > Bashkirian Tupolev 154. But did DHL Europe know the > nature of the Boeing's cargo, which has been variously > and rather delicately described by middle east sources > as"secure","classified","secret" and"extremely > hazardous"? > So the first question we have to ask is > whether or not the hazardous cargo on board the DHL > plane might have accidentally or intentionally led to > its destruction shortly after departure from Bahrain. > Could the 757 have exploded in mid air over the > Persian Gulf, or perhaps been shot down by one of the > several hundred fully-armed combat jets known to be in > the area? > We do not yet have any evidence to support > this thesis, but the possibility must nonetheless be > kept on the table. For if the Boeing 757 did indeed > crash under conditions of strict secrecy in the Gulf > area, it would then have to be"crashed again" for > public consumption later. And what better way of > disguising the true location of the crash, than to > claim the debris was"muddled up" with the wreckage of > Bashkirian Airlines Flight BTS2937 near Ueberlingen. > Though entirely speculative at this stage, > the"missing" Boeing 757, or rather its IFF > transponder codes, would have been of immense value if > there was deliberate intent to shoot down the Russian > Tupolev. If an attack aircraft were to"assume the > identity" of the Boeing by flying along the exact same > track and using the exact same transponder codes, the > single [sleepy] Swiss air traffic controller on duty > would have been none the wiser. > The Swiss controller would be expecting a > scheduled flight on a particular flight plan, > squawking a specific transponder code, and that would > be the extent of his concern.

It was > twenty minutes past midnight local time, and air > traffic controllers do not try to visually identify > aircraft flying at 33,000 feet with a pair of > binoculars. Time enough for an attack aircraft to > launch a missile, switch off its transponder and then > duck swiftly out of ground radar view. > Now, if the DHL Boeing 757 really crashed > near Ueberlingen the black box recorders would already > have been found, and my work would be proved at best > ill-informed and at worst a lie. Late yesterday Fox > News claimed that all black boxes including those from > the Boeing had been recovered and were now being > examined by investigators. > This is simply not true. Fifteen minutes ago > on live real-time German satellite TV, local > officials stated they had found the black box (1) from > the Tupolev 154, but not from the Boeing 757. On the > television, a line of boats could be seen slowly > moving along Lake Constance looking for"bits of > debris". > If by some impossible chance [explained > later] the Boeing black boxes had fallen into Lake > Constance, they would have been located in hours by > their radio signals and recovered.

If a > fishing boat suddenly recovers a Boeing black box > tomorrow or the next day it's OK to be cynical.

Really? This particular 154M was less than > seven years old, had very low airframe hours, and was > fitted with all the modern goodies including > state-of-the-art collision avoidance radar. > The reason for this VIP transport is simple. > Bashkirian Airlines Flight BTS2937 was carrying > extremely valuable passengers, in fact it was carrying > the sons and daughters of Russia's political oil > elite. Yes, I did say"political oil elite", i.e. > the very same folk who have repeatedly and stubbornly > rebuffed blatant American multinational attempts to > hijack Russia's oil reserves via pipelines slated for > construction through Turkey, The Lebanon, and > Pakistan. Make of this information what you will. > To fully understand the enormity of the lies > surrounding the crash, it is necessary to comprehend > the dynamics of the two aircraft, and the resulting > inertia and velocity at and after the point of mid air > explosion or collision.
