Beyond dramatic, how survivors survived may be a miracle.

Earlier today, local time, an Azerbaijani airplane crashed in Kazakhstan. Some survived, some did not. There was a fireball around the time the plane crashed into the ground. Based on footage, the plane landed with some aspects of an ordinary landing in it was still body horizontal and right side up, however, not a smooth landing.

The moment it was seen on television people running to and fro, some in dark helmets and anti-riot gear, some with incendiary devices, flares and flags, a light went on that something dangerous was headed out of control, and was sort of in an unusual place, which could be signs that more events like it could erupt in different major cities in the world.

Some sort of event occurred in the past few days which reports have it over 130 persons were killed. Footage shows a blaze of a concert type building structure.

Before we begin, two things to say at the same time. One, we know full well that China takes security precautions, and a very good job at it.

With that number of people displaced, it is fairly easy to see complications in socio/political interactions on the lay.

Missiles fired for testing. Okay, missiles get tested all the time. But to fly it over another country's airspace ~? There is a long standing aphorism about testing missiles, which sometimes things happen not calculated.
