1. Sorry for posting this in Lithuanian, but English news sites only started reporting this, and there’s almost no information in English news sites.

   [https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/25/europe/lithuania-dhl-cargo-plane-crash-vilnius-intl-hnk/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/25/europe/lithuania-dhl-cargo-plane-crash-vilnius-intl-hnk/index.html)

   The above CNN link contains only a single paragraph, but will most likely be updated as the story develops. Please use Google Translate to translate the article I posted, or feel free to ask me anything unclear (I am Lithuanian).

   Edit #1: Relevant info:

   This was a DHL plane from Germany to Lithuania.

   From the article:

   >The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that incendiary devices sent by DHL planes from Lithuania to the UK and Germany over the summer were part of a covert Russian operation. Both shipments from Lithuania were destined for the same destination in the UK, with one shipment catching fire in Leipzig, Germany, before being loaded onto a cargo plane, and the other at a DHL warehouse in Birmingham, UK. The shipments were shipped from Lithuania on July 19, and both fires broke out on the night of July 20-21. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Russian operation was intended to transport the incendiary devices to passenger and cargo planes flying to the US and Canada, with the aim of starting fires on them.

   Edit #2: By “living house” I meant “residential building”. I was woken up by an alarm which I received to my phone about this, and was (still am) quite distressed when I posted this, so I used a literal translation, which was incorrect. Thankfully, according to the mayor of Vilnius, it appears that the plane didn’t hit the building directly, but it still caused fire in the building and the people who live there had to be evacuated.

2. Not that I’d put a single thing (up to and including the vindictive killing of a random DHL delivery pilot for making a $10 donation to Ukraine) past them, but: is there even a shred of evidence that Russia is involved in any way? Seems a lot more likely to be pilot error or just another Boeing maintenance disaster.

3. Last parcel from like 3 weeks ago blew up on the ground since flight was delayed and cargo was not in a plane yet. This time unfortunately they succeeded.

4. Get ready for Rogan to gaslight Ukraine for this.

5. Things are escalating faster and faster

6. Why do people think Russia did?

7. No Russian involvement being mentioned in Germany. 

8. So this is just pure propaganda. No one knows why the plane crashed, it literally just happened

9. How is this not considered an open attack on a NATO country warranting an article 5?

10. Can we deal with Putin already? All his lackeys as well.

11. There’s no evidence that this was sabotage

12. There is no evidence that Russia could be involved in the plane crash.

13. Was the living house hurt?
