Oohhh... here's a GLP-style conspiracy for ya:

What if, given the 146.5 km/h speed, and the negative 41 meters per second fall rate, we just inadvertently witnessed a shoot down & it squawked ID after it was hit.
 Quoting: ScrumpTheTexan


Plausible but not likely, no need to notify anyone in a situation like that, unless the pilot wanted everyone to know.

Could be he was hit with a missile and then turned on the transponder for rescue.

Possible...
Attempted scrubbing of the data could be an attempt to declare "it was in international airspace"

Twitter was down for about an hour Thursday in an outage that appeared to affect users around the world.

The company blamed "an internal configuration change." The outage began before noon PT; some users were able to access Twitter again by 12:45 p.m. Twitter said some users may be able to access the service as the company worked on a fix.

I will shoot it down no matter what it means of some people don't show up for play war.

Besides this, you do not want to do the camping thing with me right now.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes and you would all run away and give me all of your trailers to set up on the Marble Street for your headquarters.

It's down everywhere...
 Quoting: FeedYourHead


All broken here.

I live near Beale AFB where U-2s are based. Over my house on approach every day on trainings. Amazing to me that an aircraft designed and built before I was born is still in operational use (and I'm old).

It is also interesting it's design was based on the F-104 fighter.
 Quoting: Crunch62

We don't use U-2 anymore. Have not used them since the 1970-80? we went to satellites for spy network. (Google earth)? were on some new shit now.
 Quoting: SoloTrashyCrowd


The newest models (TR-1, U-2R, U-2S) entered service in the 1980s, and the latest model, the U-2S, had a technical upgrade in 2012.

Technically it was not shot down, a Russian High altitude aircraft (Sukhoi Su-9) flipped it's wings over using turbulence and caused the wings to break.

The only aircraft shot down was a Mig 19 flying at lower altitude that got hit by one of their own missiles.
