tension

The following were moments of great tension for the Throw Brothers, earlier this morning.

Younger Throw, his finger caressing the red button of USS Vincennes, asked his brother, who was now flying his plane 42 thousand feet high at the vertical of Broken Cross:

-Are you sure the Iran Air plane is a commercial flight?...

-I don't know...if it were Ryanair...but Iran Air... it's really suspicious...

-Try to get in touch with them...

One could now hear Elder Throw from the cockpit of his F-16:

-Iran Air...Iran Air...are you listening to me?...

-Iran Air...Iran Air...please respond...

Then, back to his brother:

-No answer...

-Try again.

Elder Throw insisting:

-Iran Air... Iran Air... do you hear me...?

Back again to his brother:

-No answer...


From the radar of USS Vincennes, younger Throw could see a big plane approaching, some 50 miles away. He decided to take action by himself:

-Iran Air...Iran Air...this is USS Vincennes...please identify yourself...

-Iran Air...Iran Air... are you hearing me...?

A deadly silence followed for thirty seconds. The plane was approaching fast.

Younger Throw then decided ... to press the button.
