Very strange. They stopped responding to ATC a minute or so prior to the accident. It’ll be interesting to see the results of the investigation.

And this is related to Russian terrorism how???

Do you not recall the recent DHL plot sponsored by Russia? Between that and going NORDO, "could" have been an on board fire or something (not visible in that video tho), or, someting unrelated to sabotage of course. Still smells fishy with recent events...3 foiled DHL bombings, then 2 different DHL 737-400 operators having accidents. One involving fire on board for sure.

EDIT: Lithuanian police have said "most likely technical causes or human error, but terrorism as another possibility can not be ruled out". Surviving crew means we'll probably know more real soon. Crazy to think they got out with that fireball, I hope they aren't disfigured and fully recover.

I absolutely recall it. But to jump to the conclusion the crash was caused by Russian terrorism is premature. There's a myriad of potential causes. Let the investigation play out.

That does seem awfully coincidental.

Russia is killing airliners!! I'd suggest everyone light their hair on fire and run around in circles!! What if I suggested a more nefarious concept, Fedex and UPS have formed a cartel to not only take over all cargo flights but also ruin their competitions reputation by making them, ahem, unreliable. Which sort of fiction do you think is more feasible?
 
I wouldn't put it past the Russkies, this is exactly their sort of jam. But looking at the video, it doesn't seem likely that this was an incendiary device, and instantly blaming the Commies is a bad look, if for no other reason than it makes the very real threat of their BS seem less real if/when this turns out not to be them.

I wonder why the plane would suddenly yaw sharply to the right immediately before impact.

“KAL 007 and Malaysia 17 on line one, they’d like to speak with a one, @knot4u if available? They’re on hold, sir”

The commies aren’t even commies any more.
 
By the accident dynamics, the wreckage accessibility to include data recorders, as well as actual crew survivors; it should be sooner than later that a general determination of accident vs criminal act can be made. Let that play out. Can head down whichever fork in the road it’s determined to be at that time, with the speculation. Allow some time for any speculation to actually be some degree of informed speculation. All that’s known factually at this point, is a 737 crashed on landing approach.
