US Military Aircraft in Iraq Crashed Exactly as Planned in Liepāja — Without Combat
Four soldiers died in an accident unrelated to combat. To Liepāja residents, this explanation sounds familiar.
US Central Command, with their usual diplomatic precision, announced that their aircraft crashed in Iraq, killing four of the six crew members. Most importantly — the incident is unrelated to combat, which is about as convincing as explaining that Liepāja's tram is broken down for repairs again.
"The aircraft crash is not related to combat," CENTCOM emphasized, apparently preparing for the next question — whether they're even at war there. This explanation would only cause shoulder shrugs in Liepāja — something falls or breaks here every day, and it's also not related to combat, just to the general course of life.
While Iraq investigates the crash circumstances, Lake Liepāja continues its quiet ways in contrast to sea storms — nobody crashes there because everyone understands it's better to stay home when it's minus ten outside and there's a crosswind. "I think they should learn from our experience," comments local resident Jānis. "We've known for a long time — if something can go wrong, it definitely will go wrong. So it's better not to fly anywhere."
Rescue operations continue, but as usual in such cases, the most important thing is to emphasize that everything happened completely by accident and nobody is to blame. In Liepāja, we call such explanations "classic."
