Russia currently refuses international commission to investigate Il-76 crash

An international commission is needed to establish the cause of the Russian Il-76 transport plane's crash, but Moscow currently rejects this option

Russia has alleged that the military aircraft that crashed in Russia's Belgorod Oblast on Jan. 24 was destroyed by Ukrainian forces and that it was carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs).

Ukraine has called Russia's narrative into question and demanded an international investigation.

"Concerning specific causes of the plane's crash, the request to create an international commission is logical and well-founded," Yusov said. Such an investigation could examine the wreckage of the plane and uncover its black box, he noted.

"At the moment, as we hear, Russia rejects the possibility of such a commission."

Military intelligence: Russia currently refuses international commission to investigate Il-76 crash

An international commission is needed to establish the cause of the Russian Il-76 transport plane's crash, but Moscow currently rejects this option, Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) spokesperson Andrii Yusov said on air on Jan. 26.

This article feels like it should be just the preface to a much longer piece, but it's a start. More analysis of how Boeing was previously successful as a boring, steady, reliable company would be nice as well as the predictable (but accurate) narrative of 'corporate greed run amok' explantation for the fall.

What’s Gone Wrong at Boeing

Behind the 737 Max’s persistent problems is the erosion of a valuable corporate culture. That will be harder to fix than a loose bolt.

Walmart-Google Linkup Adds Drone Delivery To 60,000 Households

Last month, a supermarket news report detailed a recent partnership between Walmart and Google-owned drone delivery firm Wing centered on the Dallas area, adding drone delivery capability to some 60,000 households. A Wing Supercenter in Frisco, Texas, could be followed up early this year with a second Supercenter in the region.

The comments on this article (generally written by pilots) are worth reading, like this one:

Basically they’re just saying that today, the general public, is just too lazy to do their own shopping. With door dash, Uber eats, and grub hub, American families will be getting ever more lazy.

And fatter and even less healthy. I could put in an order for Bourbon, have it flown to me, and claim that I am just protecting the general public by not driving drunk. But the reality would be completely different….

Diversity Naysayers Make Labor Crisis Worse

A good article by Russ Niles on #AVweb. The story deals with #aviation, but is widely applicable and well argued.

One of the most interesting, frustrating, entertaining and occasionally frightening tasks of the modern-day editor is monitoring the comments on the stories we run. Most outlets have disabled comments because it’s just too much damn work to filter out the mean, hateful and irrelevant missives that inevitably appear no matter what the topic. It must be all Trump’s fault. Or wait, maybe it’s Biden’s.
