Such coincidences do happen. 20 years ago the plane which was carrying all the top brass of the Russian Black Sea Fleet as well as the Fleet’s accounting documentation for inspection to Moscow burst in flames and fell to the ground while trying to get airborne. Being loaded with fuel it immediately became one large infernal fireball. By some miracle no top brass suffered even minor burn/injury while all the accounting documentation burned completely.


One hell of an act of God that... Believable though, given the consistent transparency and low corruption in the Russian government's administration.


Golf clap, lasting several minutes.

Bravo, old boy.


Quite a few of those top brass years later shot themselves in the head several times before jumping from a window.

Anyway, shoe production has never been better.
