  2. It sucks that you had to make this video because of ignorant people who didn't even live under the USSR. But as a history buff, I salute you. And as Paper Skies fan, I love getting more content. And here is a not so fact as my contribution: While not as brutal, Stalin and Mao each had much higher body counts than Hitler. Historians say that Stalin's policies killed up to 40 million people. Not to be outdone, Mao's policies killed up to 80 million.

  4. It could have been completely avoidable if those pilots had anywhere to sleep before flying 200+ people across the Soviet Union. Every single soul on board was fatally exhausted, but had no other choice but to fly because the airport was lacking in adequate infrastructure.

  8. He said he had to rely on his own compass instead of the plane's, so it makes that he was off by degrees. It isn't East but it's Eastward. Besides. You're acting like LA is exactly West of NYC.

  9. In a normal country, one would have feared getting fired for not asking for clarity. But in Soviet Russia, clarity asks you!

  10. The moral of the story: Never ally with Russia.

  12. I blame the trigger-happy Colonel that was over-eager for a promotion and to become a hero.
