    Putin did it and will now convienently find 'proof' of CIA involvement.

    Bit out of date. The supposedly 'drunken' snow plough driver apparently suffers from a heart condition and never drinks alcohol. The Vnukov airport administration is increasingly coming under suspicion. So it probably was Putin. KGB = no concern for human life.

    LOL Conspiracy theories, if anyone thinks along these lines, then the USA has more to gain from his death than Putin, he recently spoke out that there was no need to pay for Oil in US dollars and that the Euro should be used, Putin has nothing to gain from his death. He was strongly against the Oil / Dollar world payment system. which sustains the US economy

    Other reports online today quote the snowplow driver as stating that he “failed to see the jet coming until it hit the snowplow. ”
    Sounds more like the actual truth.

    Nonetheless, there is no excuse for this accident and deaths. Russian tower control and airport management heads will roll, as this is the airport used by Mr. Putin. It could easily have been Mr. Putin's aircraft, or that carrying Mr.. Medvedev, or a head of state visiting from another country.
