And on our program today there are early indications we're being told that Russian air missiles may have caused the downing of an Azerbaijani plane this week.
This at least is according to U.S.

In the last few hours we're going to be discussing that.
And as a number of airlines suspend flights in the region, what does this mean for the long term future of commercial flights to Russian airports?
Also in the show, we recall the impact of this year's Baltimore Bridge collapse on local businesses nine months after that disaster.
And how volunteering a multi billion dollar industry in the US Especially in this holiday season, could be back on the rise in the US I actually signed.
Up the day after the election.
I think I was feeling a real drive to connect with my community and to help out in a tangible way.
Yep.
