gotosy 493 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Turkey F-16 forces down hijacked airliner told to fly to Sochi 12 minutes ago An airliner with 110 passengers on board en route from Ukraine was forced Friday by an F-16 military … Istanbul (AFP) - Turkey scrambled a jet fighter Friday to force down an airliner from Ukraine after a would-be hijacker on board brandishing a detonator ordered it to Sochi where the Winter Olympic opening ceremony was underway, Turkish officials said. A Turkish F-16 made the plane, from Turkey's Pegasus airline and carrying 110 people, land in Istanbul. The hijacker was believed to be a Ukrainian man, according to Turkish media. Outlets reported that he was overpowered and security forces were on the plane. Habib Soluk, deputy Turkish transport ministry, said that the man was holding a detonator as he tried to get to the cockpit and claimed there was a bomb on board. "We are sure that he didn't enter the cockpit. We know that the aircraft was hijacked before it entered Turkish airspace," Soluk said. The Pegasus pilot managed to sound the alert and the Turkish F-16 military jet was scrambled. http://news.yahoo.com/hijack-attempt-ukraine-turkey-airliner-report-173152281--oly.html;_ylt=Ah_wpejbIq7_ZflVMnQH3KXQtDMD;_ylu=X3oDMTBsaGVqY3E0BGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHNlYwNzcg-- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I wouldn't call it "soviet segment" - it is more the modernism now - no political sign yet so far - by the way the words "red" and "beautiful" were originally the same word in Russian - later changed that...

Olympian2004 511 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 The ZDF reporters explain that the scenery represented not a painting by Kandinsky, but by Kazimir Malevich, a painter whose paintings were banned in the Stalin era, and even beyond, until 1988.
