We know it's missing, right? In the case the original commenter posted, they'd have to somehow prove it didn't crash.

Like the Malaysian 777, we know it's missing. No idea what happened to it or where it is. Even in the twenty-first century it's not impossible.

In the context of the Russian war, the Russian government stole a bunch of planes being leased to Russian airlines by foreign companies and assigned them Russian tail numbers. With that paucity of transparency I'd say it's even easier to hide a plane wreck over there.

2003 was twenty years ago, we didn't have Flightradar24 yet.
