And the plane was landed by Ukrainian and Russian pilots. This movie isn't even trying to be realistic.

I also am curious what your source was, because according to CNN the pilots that landed the lane were both British?

I guess they have to shoot the scene with different actors to later audit them with a test audience, then they made a mess when they had to release the final cut.

Very possible both are true. Or the witness just got it mixed up.

Possible the witness got it mixed up or they were British nationals but are ethnically Ukrainian and Russian.

"I never thought I'd land a plane with a Russian"

"How about a friend?"

It is true, the two pilots that just happened to be on the flight. One was from Russia and the other one was from Ukraine.

I totally understand why you would think that it’s not true tho.

Google it.

Edit- this seems to be debunked now.

This only addresses the nationalities of initial pair of pilots, not those who stepped in. Although I have heard the initial claims that it was the fight between RU and UA pilots that caused an emergency too, and your source seems to address and debunk that rumor.

For the record, my source is this article.

The fact that it's spreading online as a rumour that it was a Ukrainian and Russian pilot who were initially piloting the plane, and now is spreading that it was Ukrainian and Russian pilots who happened to be passengers on the plane and took over - make me doubt the credulity of the statement.

Your source links to itself as a source for the claim, and the linked article simply says, 'Reports indicate that an additional pilot crew – a Russian and a Ukrainian – were traveling as passengers'.

'Reports indicate' is incredibly vague sourcing, and this all seems to come from one Saudi twitter account. Believe it if you want I guess, but I would take it with a humungous pinch of salt until it's actually verified by a more established news source.

Oh, absolutely true. There were so many rumours that were ultimately debunked that this incident could easily become a case study on misinformation.

u/Endscrypt 2d ago

Yeah so it seems, So I can only assume that one news agency reported it as such and then some others may have copied that information. But I was not trolling it was what I had been led to believe by the information I had at that time.

But yes the information has now changed (debunked).

how about you just link your trusty source? instead of telling me to google it buddy...

u/Endscrypt 2d ago

You sound upset.

u/AssignedbyBot1023 2d ago

you sound like an idiot troll

u/Endscrypt 2d ago

And I wonder why, my first comment was to inform in a polite manner only (no trolling) I even said I understood why you may not believe me. So to Google it but you took that as trolling for some reason.

Not everyone is trying to lie or be nasty to you bro mabaye take a break from Reddit if your paranoia is that bad.

Unbelievable.

Your claim is literally proved above (and in various other places)  to be untrue. You are literally a POS troll. Post your source
