Mod parent back up. He may be a troll, but a plane DID go down in the black sea. Here's the CNN New Alert excerpt I got in my morning e-mail:
1. BREAKING NEWS from CNN.com
2. -- Russian news agency Interfax reports flight from Israel to Russia crashes in Black Sea. Details to come.

Actually, it 'sploded before it went down, meaning a bomb was on the plane.

From the same story, after a quote about a terror attack being the first thing they're investigating "due to latest events".

The reference to ``latest events'' was to the international crisis following the September 11 suicide hijacker attacks in the United States in which 6,000 people were killed or feared missing.

Brilliant reporters at their best.

"Feared missing"? What does this mean? Where did these missing people go? Or are they referring to the numerous people who can't find their way home without the WTC to use as a landmark?

Call your local TV stations and tell them to pull today's "Entertainment Tonight."

One of the features will be Tom Cruse telling the nation how Scientology can help them throught the current national crisis.
