Bashkirian Tupolev 154 Crash at Ueberlingen Germany Looks Like a Shoot Down |
 | | Alas, this would only be partially possible if the two jets suffered a direct head-on collision, literally nose to nose, resulting in the fuselage sections of each aircraft being telescoped and compressed, with both falling to earth in a deadly eternal embrace as a single compact fused mass. |
| | If an attack plane had been sitting in the 757's radar shadow for perhaps 50 or more miles, the two-man British/Canadian Boeing crew would have turned their own proximity radar off, because the warning noise would have been driving them nuts, and because they would have believed the equipment was defective. |
| | This would then have left the Russian Tupolev [and the attack plane] with the only working proximity radars in the entire region at twenty minutes past midnight on 1 July. |
