Pravda was, if not still, the voice of Russian gov. Mainstream as it gets.

Not at all, it probably lies somewhere between a National Inquirer and a Weekly World News.

"Most Russians and people from former soviet states (at least the many I know) think of Pravda (the news) as BS and see it as Russian propaganda......which is true, it is propaganda
Note: Pravda in Russian means truth"

here is an excellent article about this 'killer gas cloud': www.badastronomy.com...

Debunkers are stuck with the story this time, based on Pravda, not WWN & a Cointelpro attack site.

Who is Mr Shervinsky and what are his credentials?

I have no idea if this is real, I do wish I had the tools to make the observations myself because I do find this story to be fascinating.
There is no such thing as a "chaos cloud", black holes don't emit enough radiation to be dangerous (if Hawking was even right at all about this topic), and certainly the black hole in the center of our Galaxy (which the article implies is the source of the cloud) won't be a big producer of this radiation: the bigger the hole, the less radiation it emits. The black hole in the center of the Milky Way is a monster. If it emits Hawking radiation, it would be incredibly difficult to detect.
And another thing: the article says Chandra detected the cloud, but in reality Chandra would be rather blind to the type of radiation emitted as electrons and positrons collide. They emit gamma rays, the kind of energy seen by satellites like INTEGRAL. Chandra detects X-rays, which are lower energy, and are not produced by the collision of electrons and positrons.

Given the fact that Dr Shervinsky is absent from the listings of the most logical places for him to be stationed at, combined with the fact that a Google search turns up no information on him beyond his referral in this story, we must conclude that Albert Shervinsky does not exist.

The plane departed from the city of Burbank bound to New York. When taking off the wheels of the plane's front gear twisted and it became impossible to retract them. The pilots were well aware of the fact that it would be very hard to land the aircraft with such a serious breakage. When the plane was approaching the Kennedy airport, the pilots reported an emergency. Specialists of the airport's ground services concluded that they would not be able to accept the jetliner for landing: the runway was too short for such a complicated landing, they said. The pilots were told to fly across the USA to California and try to land at the airport of Los Angeles, which has the USA's longest runway.
After at least two hours of making wide circles over the Pacific Ocean, where it dumped fuel intended for its five-hour flight to avoid a possible blaze on touchdown, the aircraft's pilot decided to land. Scores of emergency services and fire engines raced alongside the stricken plane.
