Talk:Turkish Downing of a Syrian Helicopter

Location
Both sides seem to agree this helicopter strayed into Turkish airpspace. The Syrian military says it was on it way back out, as crashing back in the door in flame suggests. They say it happened near here on Google Maps, I think. I'm guessing, more precisely, it was down around here, that damn sore little thumb of Turkey sticking down almost to Salma and the area of the Latakia Massacres. These same Islamist mercenaries now getting more aggressive Ottoman air cover. I can see a slight crossing being hard to avoid there. --Caustic Logic (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

The SOHR's posted video of the pilot's capture might help set the exact location of drift-down, if not the crash or the shooting itself. I don't have a direction reading yet, but they're filming from railroad tracks, narrows it down some. It was early afternoon? An exact overall time would set directions with no guessing. (I'm so not promising to do any of this...) --Caustic Logic (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
