        Well, I would imagine that BBC would want to report accurately, so if the plane people were brown then they were terrorists, if they were white then they were a bunch of lone wolves and if they were chinese then IDK i am not a tankie, I just write comments from the toilet.

    it’s still unclear why, and how, that happened.

    Because someone decided to fly a plane through an airspace occupied by a building.
    I kinda doubt Beijing has some rapid air defence interception plan that could somehow prevent someone flying their own private plane into a building if they so desire, any more than they can prevent someone swerving into oncoming traffic on purpose.

    how much nicer the world would have been if after 9/11 the us gov just said „the twin towers were selected for a surprise demolition, a new one will be built shortly. on an unrelated note, 3000 people unfortunately died of a car crash in ny this morning.“ and then didn’t start a war that directly and indirectly killed 4.5 million people.

    I find it hard to believe that China can scrub videos from the Internet. Lemme check.
