To me it seems more like the wheels of bureaucracy slowly turning, and the news getting attention only because of the recent crash.

To me it seems that it is lobbying of Aeroflot that uses no 737s trying to hurt smaller companies that do use them.

[Sheb]

Oh, that's a possibility too, I didn't know Aeroflot didn't operate 737. There have been effort to roll smaller carrier into Aeroflot of late. I'm willing to bet Metrojet will end up absorbed by Aeroflot as well.

[sprinkled chariot]

Damn, one more state monopoly arises.

Apparently Russia is butthurt about the latest Charlie Hebdo caricatures. I must admit I laughed out loud.

Daesh: Russian aviation intensify its bombing campaign.

[smjjames]

That seems rather mean on Charlie Hebdos part, then again, that's kind of their thing.

I really hope there were no Chechens or Ossetins on that plane. Otherwise CH staff should really invest into personal security.

Not sure whats funny about it, as innocent people died, and they are mocking them, just show how crappy Charlie Hebdo are.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

It is nothing but an artistic way to say "Russia caused death of their own citizens by doing bombing campaign in Syria"

They did the same crap for 9/11? Man, they should get shit on (in non aggressive way) for doing crap like this. Worst kind of filth.

It's kind of hard to shit on someone who has been bombed by legit fanatic terrorists for their job. I mean you can, but you risk getting shat on yourself.

Yea, I forgot about it. That would explain their crappy behavior.

He was talking about 9/11 jokes in general, nothing to do with Charlie Hebdo. For example, The Onion filled their entire newspaper with 9/11-related jokes on September 26th, 2001, which was basically their first issue they wrote after the attacks. The first headline is about how Bush Senior apologized to Bush Junior for funding Osama Bin Laden in the first place. That's pretty much up there with the Charlie Hebdo / Russian bombing cartoon in terms of bluntness and offensiveness to the victims.

The Charlie Hebdo isn't really any worse than American humor about 9/11 that was fairly common right after the attacks. But there's a political message in the Charlie Hebdo version, that's entirely absent from the American 9/11 humor i just linked. Charlie Hebdo's cartoon draws attention to the fact that Russia is bombing people rather than drawing attention to the air crash. The message is that you don't get a free pass on the bombings because one bad thing happens to you.

Humor is an appropriate outlet for outrage and grief. Humor is also an easy way to point out someone's mistakes, although possibly less effective in correcting said mistakes.
