I suspect Amerika. Cuba should engage Mother Russia to help pinpoint the positions of all Amerikan drones & air patrols within 2,500km radius to the crash site.

The Malaysian MH-17 was blown out of the Ukranian airspace in similar fashion - by the CIA & the Ukranian SBU while the bastards tried blaming it on Mother Russia.

Bros, do you know energy possessed by an airplane already in flight is massive, When it crashes, it has to lose all that energy upon impact.

Assuming the fuel wasn't going to explode, the occupants are still going to have to loose the energy possessed by their inherent speed and mass. There's only little the human body can tolerate before fatal injuries occur.

Yet still, the fuselage is definitely going to fail and flying parts will kill them... If they are luck to survive that,

The fuel will explode to seal the death fate of the passengers.

it's literally impossible for any to survive a plane crash. Every lucky survivor of a plane crash is a miracle
