Checking the map here, maybe they're going well around Moscow airspace? Also, if they were to take a straighter shot from Greenland today, they'd be flying through an active war zone, that's surely worth avoiding.
Wasn’t there this one civilian flight that got shot by a missile when it went over a warzone? I recall hearing some news about it like 10 years ago. Can’t remember who shot them though.
That would be Malaysian Airlines 17, shot down by a Russian surface-to-air missile over Donetsk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17
Yeah, that’s the one. Sounds like a good idea to steer clear of war zones.
