1. I think some passengers were clapping approval... they figure the police can't haul them off to

prison where they are!!!

[BeyondGeography]

2. And no sounds of disapproval

[Karadeniz]

3. Yes! That didn't occur to me!!!

4. This might be the first time russians hear us condemn putin but not russian citizens

and it might be surprising to russians that we don't use social media to spread anti-russian hate: Only hate for the Ukraine invasion.

5. Incredible bravery. And the message will spread. Passengers will disburse.

The big little man in the Kremlin knows he can't control a population this large and disparate. He will try and be brutal until he is stopped - dead and cold.

7. ...and he was met by applause

I didn't hear any angry shouts or booing. Of course, if they were already in the air, they wanted him to land the plane safely and that might have accounted for the lack of outursts.

It sounds like a lot of protest is happening despite the best efforts of the cops and the FSB.

So fuck Putin, slava Ukraini!

8. I hope the flight was scheduled to land somewhere besides Russia

9. Bravo!

10. The guy's got courage.

11. K & R - I worry for him.

I worry that Putin has spies.
