A useful idiot.
The plane began making its descent but vanished from radar screens at 6,200 feet in a mountainous area.
(raises hand) Listen, I'm not a plane crash investigator... but I think I know what happened.
Russia's state-run United Aircraft Corp. said the defect did not affect passenger safety.
I'd be shocked that a state-run company in Russia wouldn't tell the truth!
Russia has hoped that the short- to mid-range jet, which made its maiden run in 2008, will help it break into international markets dominated by Boeing and Airbus.
I'd temper those expectations.
