    The investigation stated that it was over 13,000 but under 14,000 feet at the time of the initial explosion.

    humm seems you are right .. I thought she was closer to 15K at the time...

    still at the upper edge of both weapon systems capabilities, and would likely take a skilled operator to get a kill at that range.. just like our AR's.. sure they can hit out to 600 yards... but I can't shoot mine that well ...
