I think I heard that "they" are suspecting that it was a midair collision. The Iraqi insurgents don't have anything that would take out two F-18 fighters.

Someone may have tampered with them before they took flight. 😳

What a Shame 😞 . The thing I don't understand is that they should have something similar to a TCAS but then again they are 20 year olds flying at seriously high speeds.
