"Does anyone really believe China would shoot down her fucking jet?"
Normally, no. But don't forget the episode in 2001 when Lt. Commander Wang Wei collided with a Navy EP-3 through deliberately risky piloting. We didn't figure the Soviets would shoot down flight KAL 007 in 1986 with Congressman Larry McDonald on board, either. (All kinds of conspiracy chatter about that one, but it seemed to have been the result of mutual mistakes and bad assumptions.)
