Half an hour after lifting off from New York City en route to Cairo, the Boeing 767-300 ER dropped from 33,000 to 16,700 ft. in less than 40 sec., hurtling downward at nearly the speed of sound.

And if the opposition doesn't participate in an election, it'll be a signal that the international community shouldn?t take the poll seriously and shouldn't lift sanctions." Even then, Milosevic isn't simply likely to roll over and give up, says Anastasijevic.
