Highlights from the article: Reality is such a fungible thing in the modern world that when I first laid eyes on the photos of that Airbus A321 resting in a Russian cornfield last week, my BS alarm went off-scale high.

If Captain Yusupov's windshield had been filled with gray, Soviet-era apartment blocks instead of a cornfield, we would be writing a different story.
