You have 2 biggest European nations going against each other. It is the biggest war since 1939, period.
Only by land area. By population Ukraine is only 7th and Russia is 1st.

Wow, great Googleing skills.
Hmm maybe I am imagine things, but it appears to have snapped vertical stabilized? Reminds me of that 2001 AA 587 crash
The 6-year-old single-aisle jet is part of the NG, or Next Generation, era that preceded the 737 Max, which was subjected to a global grounding after two deadly crashes. The NG has one of the best safety records among all aircraft, with just 11 fatal accidents out of more than 7,000 planes delivered since 1997, according to aviation consultancy Cirium.
“The 737 NG has been in operation for 25 years and has an excellent safety record,” said Paul Hayes, director of air safety and insurance at Cirium. “I’m not going to speculate on what happened but if the Flightradar24 logs are accurate, something seems to have happened abruptly and the plane nose dived from cruising altitude.”
According to Airsafe.com, which tracks aviation safety, NG models had just 0.07 fatal crashes per million flights as of 2019. That puts it among a rare group that includes the Boeing 747-400 and 737’s main competitor, the Airbus SE A320 family.

I thought the planes pretty much fly themselves
Korean war Vietnam war...Longer or bloodier ≠ biggest. I'm talking about the number of troops involved. You have 2 biggest European nations going against each other. It is the biggest war since 1939, period.
Time will tell if it's longer or "more bloody" than other recent conflicts.
Korean war Vietnam war...
100% what I thought of when saw it was in a nose dive and people were saying clearly suicide…not at all conclusive until the black box is recovered, which…not sure how likely that is after that impactPassenger jets can go into a death dive due to mechanical failure.

Gulf War 1 also had almost a million troops on the Coalition side.Korean war Vietnam war...
That sounds like something Homelander would say...On the "bright" side, death should have been near instantaneous for most everyone on board, if not for all. The lead-up and wait though...whoa boy!
The China Eastern jet crash that killed 132 people when the craft slammed into a mountainside appears to have been an intentional act, according to a report Tuesday.
Flight data from the doomed plane suggests someone in the cockpit pushed the Boeing 737-800 into a “near-vertical” descent while cruising at a high altitude in late March, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with US officials’ preliminary assessment.
Data from a black box recovered at the crash site near the city of Wuzhou in the southern province of Guangxi indicated that controls in the cockpit led the plane into its deadly dive, sources told the newspaper.
“The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit,” one source close to the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

Jeeezus. Must have been horrifying.
This necrobump initially made me stereotype Chinese people as being terrible at flying airplanes because I swear to God I saw this two months ago. Turns out, I did.
But in all seriousness, a plane hijacking? Or just a guy who had it and wanted to take innocent people with him? This raises more questions than answers.
Suicide by pilot. Voice recorder would have picked something up with a hijacking.
Is that video real? That’s a vertical dive into the ground and is hard to do unintentionally.
That's suiciders for ya.How shit of a human being do you have to be to do that? This is like when people jump off of buildings above busy sidewalks, x 1,000,000. I don't support suicide and I understand depression very well, but if you're hellbent on necking yourself, leave other clear the fuck out of it. Sheesh.
unfortunately this will never happen because there is already a shortage of pilots. same goes health care workers; psychos and sociopaths just hop around after getting canned and hospitals are willing to keep hiring them and look the other way to reap the profits. that's why we have people like Dr Death and that Charles Cullen nurse guy who kept killing people while people knew what was going on. there's just no incentive to screen these fucking psychos it's honestly terrifyingSame as that Germanwings crash which was a suicide a few years back if true, I wonder if airlines will ever improve their psych screenings for pilots or if this is acceptable business hazard to them.
Man this sucks. I get uncomfortable and nervous when my plane wobbles a lot during turbulation, can't even imagine how these people felt when it was nosediving down.
Damn!
I hope the families are able to sue the airline into the ground.
But it's China so I will not get my hopes up.
They clearly failed to properly evaluate a pilot which IS an industry standard protocol.Why sue the airline because a pilot commited suicide?
I dont know exactly how long this pilot worked for them but its not like he got the job yesterday and caused the crash. People live with depression or suicidal thoughts for years without people even knowing it. There are no tests to check your mental wellbeing when applying for an airline besides the most basic ones that unless you are a total psycho, you would admit to by answering a YES to questions like "do you think about killing yourself". Also, the suicide could be because of something traumatic happened in his life recently. You do know that pilots and crew get tested once a year only on general knowledge. Only when getting hired do you go through those 100+ mental evaluation questions. Never again. I know this because I worked for 6 years for Emirates Airlines. Both pilots and cabin crew go through exactly the same tests.They clearly failed to properly evaluate a pilot which IS an industry standard protocol.
In the USA this case would be settled out of court for high 7 or low 8 digits. You can bet on that.
Yeah no.Why couldn’t he take out the poo bear with him or something. Why is it always civilians these people take with them?
That was horrible and probably not an accident.
Anyways, this is one reason I don’t fly. Not just suicidal pilots but I just fear something not being maintained correctly or even fueled up… at least with driving I have my life in my hands to an extent..
It’s things like this why I hate to fly. Also, hope they come up with an Autopiliot that can detect fatal errors of human pilots and correct them by taking over. Of course if the error went the other way around human should be able to have full control in that case. But some type of process or system that can counter balance these scenarios.
It’s also possible the industry standard protocols were followed and he slipped through, or had some sort of mental break between evaluations, etc…Company which are totally compliant with industry standards still have stuff slip through.They clearly failed to properly evaluate a pilot which IS an industry standard protocol.
That is true, but statistically every year more people are killed by cows than sharks, and i would not dare to get near any shark.You literally have 100 times bigger chance to get run over on a traffic light than for something ever to happen to you in air.
