2008 Georgian spy plane shootdowns
It also claimed that white smoke trails such as seen behind the missile on the footage usually occur from land-to-air missile launches, and never with air-to-air missiles.
“This is not a full list of inconsistencies in the obviously edited video footage. [The footage does not give] a clear picture of when and where the video was recorded. If watched carefully, one can clearly see two roads parallel to the shoreline,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. “But there aren't such roads in the indicated area of Abkhazia’s coast. Abkhazia's famous sand beaches - 100 meters in width - are not seen in the footage, even though they can be seen by satellite.”
White Star Line
The losses of the "Titanic" and "Britannic" left "Olympic" as the only surviving member of White Star's planned trio of express liners. In 1922 the White Star Line obtained two former German liners which had been ceded to Britain as war reparations under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, ostensibly as replacements for the war losses of "Britannic", "Oceanic", "Arabic", "Cymric" and "Laurentic".: The former "SS Bismarck" which was renamed "Majestic", and the former "SS Columbus" which was renamed "Homeric". At 56,551 gross tons, "Majestic" was then the world's largest liner and became the company's flagship. The two former German liners operated successfully alongside "Olympic" for an express service on the Southampton–New York route until the Great Depression reduced demand after 1930.
