Amazing decision, to fly a commercial jet through the middle of a war zone. Wonder if they buzzed the Gaza Strip in a low level fly-by on their way.



Oh, FAA warned all airlines to stay clear:

Saw the graphic where last 4 days that flight flew on Southern path but severe T-Storms today forced it to route North.....Captain Obvious, but should have routed even more North...someone paid for saving jet fuel with a lot of lives

Well there were 128 Americans on the Lusitania when we went to war in 1917. Of course World War I was already underway for 3 years in Europe.

There is a threshold where that happens but not sure 23 is it.

Horrible situation - I am praying for the families of all the victims.

We'll see... FOX and their lies are reporting 20 plus Americans on board.

No worries the President is fundraising and he knows there are no Americans
