Crashed 4 minutes apart after taking off from the SAME AIRPORT. Not a coincidence.
Two Russian passenger jets crash
Tuesday, August 24, 2004 Posted: 6:04 PM EDT (2204 GMT)
(CNN) -- Two passenger planes have crashed in Russia Tuesday night, Russian officials and a news organization said.
A passenger jet carrying 34 passengers and eight crew members in the Tula region crashed about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Moscow, the ministry reported.
A second plane went down about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from Rostov-on-Don, in southern Russia, government-run news agency Ria Novosti reported.
A ministry spokeswoman said she could only confirm that the second plane had been lost to radar.
The first plane disappeared from radar at 10:56 p.m. (2:56 p.m. ET), a ministry spokeswoman said.
The Tupolev-134 had taken off from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport and was en route to Volgograd, in southern Russia.
The second plane, a Tupolev-154, disappeared at 11 p.m. (3 p.m. ET) after having taken off from the same airport en route to Sochi in southern Russia, Ria Novosti reported.
There was no immediate word how many people were aboard the second plane.
The Tupolev-154 is a standard medium-range airliner on domestic flights in Russia, according to aviation websites.

The planes took off from the same airport and crashed 4 minutes apart.. This has to be.. All signs point to it..
If these Russians say it wasn't.. I have 2 words.. "cover up"
What signs? Could have just been a tragic circumstantial coincidence. I hope they find out if it was or not and who is responsible. However, if they say it wasn't, I would have a hard time believing the Russians were trying to cover up anything. Why would they? To protect the Chechens? I doubt that.

The first two don't point specifically to terrorism as a cause. That's more coincidence than anything.
Don't get me wrong -- if terrorists are to blame, they should be punished for it. But let's not get all up in arms every time there's a plane crash or an explosion at a refinery or anything where terrorism COULD be a cause, but is not necessarily the only possible cause.
