      What a weekend that was - just sobered up! Ended up God knows where and just said 'Sod it' and flew home.

      Now I've got this Boeing 777 in my garage and a load of pissed-off Chinese.....

      Mystery solved....

        Fair point if the incident was a trigger-happy accident, or aggression between opposing countries such as the USS Vincennes shooting down that Iranian airliner or the Russkies shooting down an American U-2 spy plane in the '60s.

        But it might be more in every country's interest not to have it publicly known that a decisive defence against a possible terrorist attack had turned out to be an overreaction. Otherwise the blame and repercussions might make it harder to justify similar decisive action in future when the threat might be genuine. (That all assumes it wasn't genuine this time.)

          However I am clinging vehemently to HyperD's alien theory.
          HyperD is wrong. Aliens don't have penises.

            I heard some Triad boss was trafficking a load of sex workers but got wind that KentPhilip was in Bangkok and decided to divert.

              As an arise, not widely known that the Korean Airliner the Sovs shot down wasn't the first Korean Airliner they did...

                    Hmmm, and was the inside of his alien spacecraft cleverly camouflaged to look like a room in the Bridgewater Travelodge?

                      I was talking about Korean Air 747 the Russians downed, although thanks to Stek I now know of another.

                      Boeing and the US will (amongst others) want to poke their noses in to find the wreckage, in order to confirm (or otherwise) that the plane wasn't faulty. Do you really think the Chinese will just say "Oh, you shot it down by accident, don't worry, we'll help you cover it up"? I don't.

                      Once you start subscribing to these sorts of ideas, you're off down the "911 was an inside job" route of nutterdom. It isn't credible.
